[FM Discuss] Can I get authority to publish?

[Anne Gentle]

Hi all -
Adam grants maintainer rights, right now I am the maintainer on the
SugarLabs docs. To get an idea of the Maintainer's role, read
http://en.flossmanuals.net/FLOSSManuals/Maintainers. There are several
maintainers on this list, but It's not just a permissions-level role, it's
wider than that. For now, keep requesting a publish through the discuss
list. We can talk with Adam about your role after the book sprint this week.


Thanks Lachlan for publishing - you were quicker on the draw than I could
be, this week anyway. :)

Jim, you're correct that Objavi creates a PDF using the latest content. The
Publish command simply puts the HTML pages on the "Read" area. Sending out
PDFs may be a normal way to get reviews from people.

As for the copyright notice, the setup works that way. If it really bothers
you (sounds like it might), we'll see what we can do. And yes, the revisions
are available for the world to see, so it's not like people can't figure out
who did the real work. :) For most of the books, Adam shows up as "first" in
the contributors list, but that's because he creates the outlines like I did
for this book. Everyone who contributes will get attributed correctly by the
wiki software that runs FM.

Thanks for the work you're doing on the book! It's shaping up nicely. Let me
know if you'd like me to work on getting contributors with you.
Anne
