I think this was agreed at a CC meeting in October/November?  The author
retains copyright (as per the licences used require to work) but anybody
can add to or modify the content and add there own copyright to the work.

Documents created by Cannonical staff will be copyright Cannonical as
per the way the law works in most countries.

I thought this problem had been sorted out.  You guys produced loads
more last month than you did the month before but most of the people on
the project do get caught up in the details and the restructuring.  This
isn't at terrible thing as long as someone keeps reminding people that
there is still work to do.

As the project decided to do without a leader for the forseeable I guess
that's going to have to be the job of the secretary ;-)

Just keep reminding people there is an end product and things should
pull together Enrico ;-)
