Below the copyright header in each one, it says exactly what to do, in
great detail.  In 2 of those 3, that is 1 line, which says what to do.
In the other (under core), it has many exact details that have to be
followed precisely, not skimmed.  To what extent did you do that, before
complaining that "Nothing explains..." ?

You got it.

Either one.  As I believe it says farther down, you can choose which.  If you
use the system username, you will hopefully not have to type the username
every time you start OM.

Please be more specific: which URL you were on, the exact, complete text of the
URL you clicked, and the URL to which that led you, and what
browser you are using.

You would add a text attribute, and the system at that point would ask
you to use an external editor.  A good future enhancement is to improve
that, but won't happen very soon.

The tutorial might be useful for you.

Do you work for the FSF?
