SC decision regarding acceptability of Windows screenshots in LibreOffice documentation and website pages

Hi,

After some recent discussions of the Design and Documentation lists, I
took the issue of acceptability of screenshots of LibreOffice products
on Windows to the SC, at the SC confcall that just took place.

Although there was not quite a quorum for a binding decision, the
decision taken by the SC members present was basically this (this is
my own summary - the "gist" of the discussion - but *not* an actual
word-for-word statement by the SC:

It is OK for teams and individual contributors to decide to use
screenshots of LibreOffice products taken on Windows in the work they
contribute to the project. This explicitly applies to LibreOffice
documentation and images on LibreOffice websites. It was *recommended*
that Linux screenshots be used, but that recommendation is not in
anyway binding upon teams or individual contributors.

I just wanted to post this for future consideration in team discussions.

Although there was no explicit discussion of Mac screenshots, I think
you can take it as read that LibreOffice screenshots taken on Mac are
also perfectly acceptable.
