Let me know if you like the idea, I'll more that happy to help you in learning the ropes of ireport in change of some not-completely trivial tutorials to put on the ireport documentation page and help other people like you. ... How am I to learn the ropes without having access to the documentation? Suppose I purchase the manual, and decide to use my knowledge to provide free documentation. Would this not be a violation of intellectual property? Normally, manuals are distributed using the same license as the software itself - I'm assuming this is not the case. So, the only up-to-date documentation that exists for this software is using a proprietary license under restrictive copyrights. Any free documentation produced after its publication (whether based on it or not) is by very nature going duplicate the basic concepts of this commercial product, and could be considered a violation. Do you see the problem? By making the only documentation a commercial product, JasperSoft has the right to prevent any free documentation from being released on the grounds of copyright infringement. I would love to help, but I do not see how it is possible. Please, correct me if I am wrong! Thanks! Edit: I waste my own words, when apparently this is an issue throughout the OS community: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-doc.html I apologize for bringing this all up. I appreciate the work involved in creating such an impressive and feature-packed product. If the currently out-of-date documentation is in wiki format (aka user modifiable), then I would be happy to work on bringing it up to date for you as I work with it; although I'm still unclear on the copyright concerns.
