Consider me a volunteer. I'll look into setting up openoffice on
one of my machines. I'd prefer either the Template Tags or a
themes/theme development section as those are the areas I'm most
familiar with. I've wanted to assist with the codex, but for a
variety of reasons, haven't, probably won't, but this sorta bridges
that gap.<br>

This is the followup to Lorelle's email to the list, and it's something<br>we've discussed between us.<br><br>The goal:<br>- for WP users to be able to download those parts of Codex that they<br>wish to read offline.<br>- for this project to be maintained in such a way as to not be dependent
<br>on any one person or any single location (outside of <a href="http://wp.org">wp.org</a>)<br><br><br>The plan:<br><br>1. Recruit a team for pdf document maintenance. A minimum of 2,<br>preferably 4, people are needed.<br>
- each person takes on a designated range of Codex pages<br>- The Codex page range would be by TOC section, such as WordPress<br>Lessons, Development Documentation, About WordPress, etc.<br><br>2. Each person would monitor the documents within their section and when
<br>changes are made, they will create a new PDF file.<br><br>3. The PDF file will be uploaded to the agreed upon web space.<br>- Podz will provide this. It will probably be ISP space as this is html<br>only (no code support). Other web space may be considered. The people
<br>with access to this web space need to be well trusted and vetted and<br>Podz will monitor the web space regularly.<br>- The web space address will also act as a backup location should the<br>main location become unavailable.
<br><br>4. At a set time, a cron script on <a href="http://wordpress.org">wordpress.org</a> will copy over only<br>those files which have changed (date stamp being the key). This allows<br>Matt to maintain the security of
<a href="http://wp.org">wp.org</a><br><br>5. The download page on <a href="http://wordpress.org">wordpress.org</a> will show the title of each file<br>along with the last modified date.<br><br>6. Should the team begin to produce the docs in any other format, the
<br>same procedure can be done.<br><br>7. Anyone is free to copy the files and host them elsewhere, but<br>no-one will be allowed download access to the download and backup web<br>space location. (Right now the location is both known and the directory
<br>open. This would change. I see this as stopping others hotlinking to the<br>files. I have no tracking I can use there).<br><br><br>What's needed:<br>- People.<br>If you want to help and haven't got Open Office I'll burn to CD and send
<br>it to you.<br>The more people that say Yes, the more the work is spread. It really<br>isn't a difficult task.<br><br>Archiving:<br>- Would have to be done manually, but I think that's doable.<br><br>Volunteers appreciated !!
