There are draft chapters for the Getting Started Guide currently at the ODFAuthors website waiting to be reviewed and polished. The major stumbling block to this has been that the licensing of the documents. They are currently dual licensed as GPL ver3 and CC-BY ver3. This would require either that we ask legal@ to review the CC-BY version 3 license as to whether it is compatible with the ALV2 (the 2.5 version is already approved) or that we host the distribution of the documents somewhere other than an Apache server.

  • Much work already done
  • Possibility to have basic documentation ready for AOO version 3.5 release or shortly thereafter
