[tdf-discuss] User guides for OOo / LibreOffice

I was glad to see the announcement of The Document Foundation. 

As Co-Lead of OOo Documentation, working mainly with the user guides
produced by the OOoAuthors group, I would certainly like to see our user
guides made part of the LibreOffice documentation set. Therefore I have
some practical questions and comments.

1) The website states "All text and image content on
documentfoundation.org or libreoffice.org, unless otherwise specified,
is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0
License." Does the Foundation intend for community user docs to be under
the same license? I ask because the user guides are currently under dual
GPL3/CC-BY3, not CC-BY-SA3.

2) To make the existing guides part of the LibreOffice docs, they will
need some amendment. Previous notes on this list talked about code
strings; unfortunately, we have never put appropriate variables into the
user guides to enable easy changes of name. In addition, some other
information (reference to support,extensions, etc) will need to be
changed. Who will be expected to do this work? These are community docs,
and the OOoAuthors group is part of the community, so I suppose we
should do it.
