First prize for me would be having the word "libre" in the title and text of the root definition ([http://wikieducator.org/Say_Libre rationale]) - [[User:KTucker|K]] ([[User talk:KTucker|talk]]) 03:21, 3 May 2013 (EDT).

Second prize is just continuing with the ''status quo'' of having a matching version as we currently have [[Libre|here]] (which followed development of the [[definition|root definition]]).

Version 1.1 of the Libre Cultural Works Definition (currently [[Libre|this page]]) is intended to match the root [[Definition|Free Cultural Works Definition]] (version 1.1 for both). Changes should be minor as there are external links to this page as the "Libre Cultural Works Definition".

** Is "Libre Definition" too minimalist? - [[User:KTucker|K]] ([[User talk:KTucker|talk]]) 03:21, 3 May 2013 (EDT)
** Is "Libre Definition" too minimalist? If not (as I believe) then the result (version 2.0) could neatly replace [[Libre|this page]]. - [[User:KTucker|K]] ([[User talk:KTucker|talk]]) 03:21, 3 May 2013 (EDT)
* If not successful in ''leading'' the process and establishing "libre" in the root definition, then revert to ''following'' with an updated "libre" version (closely based on the next version of the Free Cultural Works definition) as we did [[Libre|here]] (last time round) for 1.1.

== Comments on the process ==
 
Your process is backwards. There is no stable 1.1 definition of libre works and to lie about it just because there are some external links to it is something I will not support. [[User:Cov|Cov]] (9 May 2013)

== Versioning ==
This article inherited all the work and knowledge contributed to version 1.1 of the [[Definition|Free Cultural Works Definition]] and hence its version number. It is almost identical word for word except that the word "libre" is used instead of "free" where appropriate throughout. An objection has been raised to this approach under "Comments on the process" above. What is the best approach to versioning of [[Libre|this version]] and [[Libre/Unstable|the next]]? Comment and discussion below is welcome. Thanks. - [[User:KTucker|K]] ([[User talk:KTucker|talk]]) 19:36, 12 May 2013 (EDT)
:: My take for [[Libre|this version]] is that it is the same definition (as the [[Definition|Free Cultural Works Definition version 1.1]]) just using a less ambiguous word for the key concept ("libre" for "free" as in freedom). It corresponds exactly and should have the same version number reflecting the work that went into the definition from which it was directly derived. - [[User:KTucker|K]] ([[User talk:KTucker|talk]]) 19:36, 12 May 2013 (EDT)
:: For the next version, it depends on how the above hybrid process pans out. Personally, I would prefer that "libre" is worked into the [[Definition/Unstable|next root definition]] and that there will be no need for a separate page. If we end up with a matching version with "libre" replacing "free" as we do here, I'd probably go with the same version number ... but I am open to suggestions and can be persuaded otherwise. - [[User:KTucker|K]] ([[User talk:KTucker|talk]]) 19:36, 12 May 2013 (EDT)
