	Re-licensing Tomboy Documentation by Paul Cutler-3 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Hi, For the 2.30 cycle, I would like to port the Tomboy documentation from Docbook to the new GNOME documentation language, Mallard. Benefits include: * Topic based documentation (rather than task based) * Improved layout, including the ability to link to other pages in the docs rather than a strict hierarchical layout * Ability for downstream to easily modify or add content As part of this, the GNOME documentation team is moving all docs where possible from a GFDL license to CC-SA 3.0 (attribution is inherent in all 3.0 CC licenses) To do this, I need each writer's permission to re-use content, or re-write the documentation from scratch. Since we've only had four other contributors in addition to myself, I thought I'd ask first. These include: * Sandy Armstrong * Boyd Timothy * Alex Gravely * Brent Smith If you could reply to the list with your approval (or dis-approval / concerns), it would be appreciated. Thanks.

This will make updating and contributing to Tomboy documentation a lot easier, I think. > As part of this, the GNOME documentation team is moving all docs where > possible from a GFDL license to CC-SA 3.0 (attribution is inherent in all > 3.0 CC licenses) > > To do this, I need each writer's permission to re-use content, or re-write > the documentation from scratch.

Well you have my permission. I'll do what I can to help track down everyone else involved if they don't respond here. Thanks for taking the initiative on this, Sandy _______________________________________________ Tomboy-list mailing list Tomboy-list@... http://lists.beatniksoftware.com/listinfo.cgi/tomboy-list-beatniksoftware.com

I don't know much about mallard, but switching to CC license seems like a positive change! -Alex On Fri, Sep 11, 2009 at 6:52 AM, Sandy Armstrong <sanfordarmstrong@...> wrote: > On Fri, Sep 11, 2009 at 6:34 AM, Paul Cutler <pcutler@...> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> For the 2.30 cycle, I would like to port the Tomboy documentation from >> Docbook to the new GNOME documentation language, Mallard. >> >> Benefits include: >> >> * Topic based documentation (rather than task based) >> * Improved layout, including the ability to link to other pages in the docs >> rather than a strict hierarchical layout >> * Ability for downstream to easily modify or add content > > Awesome!
