Hello,
the licence problem have to be cleared before we can really work. I
wrote a letter to Guilhem Aznar (he seems to work for FSF) asking help
and add a line in the task list.
*we need a lawyer* or a licence expert.
* I think we agree on the need to use GFDL on the wiki every time it's
possible. We have to look closely at this (invariant??) and what it
means, but given it's used for wikipedia, it should be good for us :-)
* so when talking to the authors, asking for the right of setting they
HOWTO on tghe wiki should be made clear: GFLD
* if the author *don't want* to change his licence and it's not GFDL,
we have to clearly set the wiki page accordingly. We can even write a
non-modifiable HOWTO on the wiki, on a read only page, with a
companion discussion page write open.
* is GPL usable on the (a) wiki?
* what can we do if a HWOTO's author is unreachable: probably as
already said: make the HOWTO page readonly, but add a discussion page
write enabled. (or move to "obsolete"...)

NB: G. Aznar was the last LDP leader before his resignation two years ago
