Become a committer is not my priority. I would only produce something
helpful for endusers in my langage (I don't speak English), but in a way it
could eventually serve to people working here on an official documentation
project, without these boring issues of licenses, rules, etc. My work will
be "unofficial", but I can perfectly live with that.

My personal opinion is that a real and efficient AOO doc project should be
initiated and lead by the strongest community (US/EN) in a clear defined
and simple way, with a low technical barrier to rise the number of possible
contributors. But I have to admit it's more easy to say that to do.

Please, consider I will try to do something "beside" but not "against" the
AOO project. My question was how to work in this direction : a compatible
final product, not obligatory integrated, but in which the community could
reuse smoothly any part it could found interesting..

A link to the template I'm intending to use. If something is wrong, please,
let me know and I correct it. it.
