Well, identifiable authors (those who have a login) would be informed
by email. Since we allow anonymous edits, there's no way to ask
everyone. Additionally there is no one author of a page... On the
other hand I think most of the core documentation content was written
by me and a handful of core contributors anyway.
I know this is somewhat complicated, but shouldn't be unsolvable. It's
not Shakespeare what we're talking about here...

PS: Is there someone who could help us with this? Maybe someone from
the Creative Commons people? Or the FSF?
