Jorg others have said it now I will add my voice to it. Please stop
these types of posts they are totally unproductive. They serve no
purpose except rekindle and inflame incidents best left in the past. Let
us all move on and foster cooperation were it is possible and move
forward separately were it is not.

Should the culprits at LO apologize to the AOO community for their actions at that time, there will be no need for such contributions from me anymore.
There is not a single public statement by the TDF against bashing AOO, and bashing in forums, mailing lists etc. has only one direction in the present: against AOO.

I don't believe that at that time, after all the slander and lies on the part of LO, against AOO, cooperation was still possible!
It should never be forgotten how the highest representatives of our project (for example Rob Weir) were publicly insulted by TDF members.

Well, it happened to me.
Can you understand that I still think this is much less bad than the insults and lies from TDF/LO?

This, however, is an interesting observation. I find it amazing that the PMC still insists on keeping these people in their ranks. Even though they are no longer doing anything for the project.
Do you think that's right?
My opinion is: IBM has done harm to the project by uncoordinatedly withdrawing its support. Specifically, this concerns the OOXML filters.

But why do we use these legal possibilities so little?
Why, for example, do we not take legal action against fraudulent sites such as openoffice.de and dispute their rights?

I made a commit on the website that was valid, but he thought it was a bad idea. So he reverted it instead of asking me. This was not proper. TBH I found him to be omnipresent and while very helpful did not leave others enough room to grow into also helpful. It was as if every fourth email was from him. And then IBM pulled out and ... Rob slowly went away.
BTW we can now put the registered trademark (R) next to Apache and OpenOffice. We had every right to it for OpenOffice.org back at that time. It’s what I did. He had incorrect fear that doing that was some type of major legal jeopardy.

We all want that. We just disagree about how that may happen.

What did Rob have to apologize for? I don't know anything he has to apologize for.
I don't understand what you mean. What do you think I want?
I can say what I want myself:
I want AOO (i mean the project and the community) to be treated with respect. Respect, however, is a question of joint discussion and not of one-sided subjugation.

Rob Weir never apologized to me. There are people in this world who never, ever admit to any errors.
I’m not one of them.
Apologies. While I agree with your sentiment it will not lead to what you want if we keep bringing this issue up.

+1. Let’s try to keep the past animosity in the now distant past as that is what to my recollection drove Jean to move elsewhere during the initial incubation of OpenOffice.org at the ASF. The flames on dev@ at that time we equivalent to recent wildfires in California and Australia.
Anyone who contributes in any manner to the whole ODF ecosystem should be welcome within the license constraints.
If there is a better place for documentation that must be hosted externally to the ASF by a community member then that is fine with me.

Dave

My comment meant something different, namely that the documentation for OOo 3.3.0 is closer to AOO 4.1.7 than any current LO documentation.
It is therefore a question of pure expediency to rely on the old OOo documentation.

This helps in so far as this documentation is of course also available for use by AOO without restriction.
If this were not the case, we would not have noted on the AOO website that we are taking care of the documentation.
It is due to the practical situation that there are no uploads on the AOO website yet.
This is the concrete situation, but generally (imho):
Shouldn't we be grateful for ANY help for AOO? No matter who it comes from?
Why do we argue about formalities in times where we lack volunteers?

I have, of course, talked about it (years ago), or do you think I work in secret?

Very simple: here they try to organize the writing of the documentation centrally and this confuses me because all proposals I made in the past have been rejected with reference to the meritocratic approach.
I myself am very much in agreement with (centralised) organisation, but this must not lead to certain content issues being promoted and other content issues being hindered.

This helps the project, because it makes current (4.x) documentation, also for the project, available in German language.

I'm for collaboration, but for working together as equals and I'm against any claim of leadership from LO in this collaboration.
Several times I was allowed to experience that members of the AOO-community reached out their hand, but LO did not reply.
Michael for example speaks of "our friends at LO", but I never read a public statement from the LO-community that spoke of "our friends at AOO".
Such things make me wonder.

Jörg

The potential new AOO documentation contributor did NOT say that his
contribution would be a copy of the LO Base documentation. I suspected
that he might not be aware of "The Apache Way", so I indicated that it
would be advisable to for him to make full disclosure of his work on the
LO documentation to the AOO project before moving forward.

That is good news, but how does this help the AOO Documentation and why
haven't you Jörg spoken up about this before now?

What has this to do with a potential new AOO documentation contributor

I repeat my previous question: How does this help the AOO Documentation

> So it's not true that nobody would work on the documentation.
Jörg, please quote the words I wrote, not your distorted interpretation.
When I choose to write I write FACTS and I did NOT say "nobody would
work on the documentation", I wrote:
<Q>
Over the years Keith N. McKenna has made many valiant attempts to
maintain the project's documentation and enlist new contributors, but
the regrettable situation is that very little new or updated AOO
documentation has been written for a very long time.
</Q>
In other words, VERY LITTLE new or updated material has been added to
the main AOO documentation website pages. Since the main AOO website is
in English that statement can be taken to mean the English documentation.

Jörg, your strident proclamations make enemies of those who would be
friends of AOO. Many of us, Peter and myself included, understand that
there can be no reunification, but we seek for cooperation between the
projects whenever possible. There is no benefit or gain in continually
resurrecting past animosities and dead issues.

I do, because this documentation is far too far away from the needs of AOO.
We, the ProOO-Box team, are working on the German-language documentation for AOO, using the English originals of OOo 3.3 as a basis, which has proven to be very useful.
We use the Apache way and this is meritocratic, as we have been told in other cases over and over again!
It may not be finished yet, but we've been working on the documentation all the time, where no one else was doing it, and we've been working as much as we could.
So it's not true that nobody would work on the documentation.
greetings,
Jörg

Two short additions.
1) When we revise existing documentation we must take into account their licenses.
If someone thinks we can (and don't) change an existing license to Apache, they can do so themselves. On the other hand, if a license change is not possible, it is not for us either.
2. please note that prooo-box.org is a separate platform, just like ODF authors, and welcome the work of both or neither of them.

Moin,
In the past, the Prooo-Box was informed about the updating and revision of the German documentation.
The only response was to state that it did not comply with the Apache license.
If this is the main concern, one should not be surprised that motivation knows no bounds.
Some more information about our work:
The English documentation for version 3.3 serves as a basis.
In this documentation some functions are described incorrectly or there are
descriptions are missing. This means that all functionalities must be
tested or reproduced for the new documentation will be.
Alternative paths are also offered for faulty functions.

I have no issues if the work is based on top of LO Documentary efforts.
As you have said,
AOO Documentary project is currently blank. I think if it awakes, people
will join.
The only thing that might be an issue from LO is the license used.
But I am willed to support any license that is category B for
documentation, to lower the barrier.
As long as we have a clear and easy to understand able approach what
license a documentation has.
In general I would appreciate if LO and AOO find ways to enhance
cooperation, and overcome their
differences in the long term.
How is the view on my project colleagues?
Anyone has fundamental issues with contributions from LO?
Is it okay to create Documentation not using the AL2 License, but
compatible?
All the Best

Re: How to join Docs team
Posted by bmcs <bm...@apache.org>.
Over the years Keith N. McKenna has made many valiant attempts to
maintain the project's documentation and enlist new contributors, but
the regrettable situation is that very little new or updated AOO
documentation has been written for a very long time.
I would take this opportunity to make a small correction to Peter
Kovacs's observation about ODF Authors. The original OOO Authors was
established shortly after OpenOffice.org was open sourced by Sun
Microsystems in 2001 and subsequently managed by Jean Hollis Weber, the
person mainly responsible for the core of ALL of OOo, AOO and LO
documentation. When the OOo project was split into AOO and LO the
decision was made to change the documentation working area name from OOO
Authors to ODF Authors. The idea being that it would be one of the few
shared areas where AOO and LO could work cooperatively together and the
ODF Authors website/common working area was set up with provision for
both projects to equally utilize the facilities of the ODF Authors
website. Regrettably, AOO rejected this option, while LO made full use
of the facility. For around 10 years ODF Authors facility was served by
a Plone instance on a TDF server, but last year the LO project decided
to move their reliance on Plone for the documentation development over
to a Next Cloud instance. Since AOO had not made any attempt to use the
facilities offered by ODF Authors in 10+ years it was reasonably assumed
that the AOO project had no interest and would not be affected by this
change.
Where is this past ODF Authors material for AOO? When the change from
Plone to NextCloud was agreed, I personalty archived everything from the
AOO directories on ODF Authors to the LO NextCloud instance. For anyone
with LO Nextcloud access this material can be found at:
https://tinyurl.com/sbrfkqv (link to the NextCloud archive directory).
I am sure that any contribution you and your friends might make to the
AOO documentation would be very welcome. However, before you put more
work into an Apache OpenOffice edition of the Base User Guide I think,
in the interest of disclosure, it would be advisable to notify the
members of the AOO project that you are currently finalizing an English
translation of Robert Großkopf's Handbuch LibreOffice Base
(https://tinyurl.com/vgokn75) for the LibreOffice Documentation Team,
which is about to be published as the LibreOffice Base User Guide. I do
NOT claim that what you are offering the AOO project is a copy of the
same work, but you should be aware that there are members of of the
Apache OpenOffice who are vehemently opposed to anything and everything
related or connected to the TDF and LO. That is NOT to say that your
contribution would be rejected by the AOO project.
For anyone keen to create documentation for the Apache OpenOffice
project, I would say you have a blank page so go for it.

Pulkit;
Your requested mwiki account has been created and a temporary password
has been sent and please make sure you change it at first login. We
currently do all documentation at the following link:
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide. It does not
look as if the Base Section has been added yet I will add it later
today. A good reference before starting and as you progress is
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Dashboard/Help_Style_Guide and
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Dashboard/Wiki_Editing_Policy.
You should also subscribe to the documentation mailing list at
doc-subscribe@openoffice.apache.org. That list is dedicated to
communication around documentation. Welcome to the documentation team.
Regards
Keith N. McKenna

Which files do you mean? I am not sure what you refer to.
ODF Authors have left the project, in favour of Libre Office. They
disbanded on 6 Nov 2018 within Libre Office.
OpenOffice Documentation is currently not active. Dead sounds so final.
There are volunteers,
but imho it lacks a vision where to go, or where to start.
I am sure if you manage to create a vision people will join. On
Doc@openoffice.apache.org you could find people that join.
However I am happy if someone does something on our web presence. Wiki
is the simplest access point.
All the Best

Hi,
I have found only those guidelines:
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Wiki_Contribution_Guidelines
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Dashboard/Tutorials/Guidelines
If something does not fit from your standpoint, then please open up a
discussion.
If ou have written your guide, it would be great to post a link for review.
All the Best
Peter

Hi Keith,
Pulkit Krishna, writes he does not find any mail with the login data.
Can you check and send the email again?
Thanks,

Pulkit;
Your requested mwiki account has been created and a temporary password
has been sent and please make sure you change it at first login. We
currently do all documentation at the following link:
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide. It does not
look as if the Base Section has been added yet I will add it later
today. A good reference before starting and as you progress is
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Dashboard/Help_Style_Guide and
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Dashboard/Wiki_Editing_Policy.
You should also subscribe to the documentation mailing list at
doc-subscribe@openoffice.apache.org. That list is dedicated to
communication around documentation. Welcome to the documentation team.
