[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Feedback needed for "about this documentation" and "Documentation Licensing Statement" appendices

[Turner, Jennifer M]

Thanks for stabbing, Robert - looks good!  

I can offer no information helpful to your first question, since I joined in even later than you, but do have an opinion/observation about the Creative Commons license...

Since the CC symbol links back to information about the specific license, so I wouldn't think we would need more information.  Books have the copyright symbol, but they don't have a big appendix explaining what that means. :)  

Just my two cents...
Jenny

Hi Everyone,

I took a stab at the "About this Documentation" section: http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/1.6/draft/html/about_this_documentation.html and need feedback, especially from those involved in the project since its inception in May of 2009. Could you please check the list of participants and special thanks sections and forward any names which are missing or send any corrections needed? I do not want to leave anyone out! Any other suggestions for this page are also appreciated. I am very fuzzy on the early history of this project since I wasn't involved until November of 2009 so I need more background information. In particular do we want to mention anyone or group who really initiated this documentation project?

I also need some guidance on the licensing page and what is needed for that? Do we need all the legal speak from the creative commons license found here: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/legalcode? Or do we need something more specific to our project? Or do we even need a license appendix at all since we have the creative commons license symbol on the footer of every page linked to the creative commons site? Guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Robert
