If you expect that users will merge your product realm with others, this is likely a bad idea. You are required to change the text of the OGL included with your product to include your product's copyright notices as well as the copyright notices for any other OGL products used by yours. You'd want to make sure a user can tell which copy of the OGL applies to what content.OGL is easy. Make a topic under sources. Reveal it first thing. Put the OGL there.

This is one of the reasons that the handling of credits and legal text will be structured and formalized - and not potentially handled differently across content created by different people.
Another issue in dealing with a 3rd party publisher, in order to show him the work I've done everything needs to be revealed, which means no GM snippets. Also when the time comes to publish it would be helpful to be able to globally hide everything again.
I recommend you use something like Skype or Join.Me (both free) to share the Realm Works window (or your entire screen) with the person reviewing your work. We do that extensively in-house when reviewing the work of other team members within Realm Works, and it works quite well. There is no need to reveal anything and then remember to un-reveal it later. In addition, it's valuable to see what material is and isn't revealed, as well as what is and isn't GM info, during the review process.
That requires compatible schedules.

will this actually be out this year? or is the release date for the marketplace undetermined? One thing that you guys have been horrible with is timetables.

We haven't announced a release date for the Content Market. One of the reasons we haven't announced a release date (or even an estimate), is due to feedback from our users. When we announce our release plans, we want to make sure that we'll be confident that we can hit them.
To back up what Liz says, consider the following (pretty much what happened):
RW release was pushed back almost countless times. Every time LWD thought it was almost ready, a cluster of "gotcha" bugs reared their ugly heads, and (having been wonderful about keeping us all updated about their release plans) the release had to be pushed back. This happened over, and over, and over again. Eventually we all basically said "stop over-promising, it's starting to get frustrating" (we weren't quite that blunt for the most part). So, quite correctly, LWD have implemented a policy of only announcing releases when they're actually ready (rather than "just a couple of things to finish").
At a rough guess, LWD were probably anticipating the content market going live sometime in September/October. And then lots of horrible things happened. Just imagine how almightily p'd off we'd all be if they'd told us that, and here we are in November without it. The cries of "but you said..." would be almost deafening.
The current policy of "silence until ready" can be difficult (especially with maintaining excitement for new features), but the backlash from it is nothing compared to failed expectations, and frankly LWD are busy enough that they don't need to waste their time fielding queries from us when they could (and should) be working on the next release.

I'm working with a 3rd party publisher and the problem I just discovered is that he knows very little about RW. I have tried to find out how he wants the content laid out so there's consistency with all of his products but he knows very little about the program and can't answer my questions.
I've struggled with my own game on how to lay things out. After reading the forum and seeing screen shots I have gone into my realm and redone things and at least once completely scrapped my realm and started again. With the program being this ambiguous for personal use it's even worse for freelancers working for publishers for the Market.
I understand not wanting to discuss things right now until everything is finalized, but having some idea of how to approach the content and/or discuss with others in the same position would really help. The 3rd parties are wanting to start rolling the ball now so they're ready with content when you're ready for them.

Can I suggest:
Let me reiterate again what Rob said earlier. If you have questions about working with third party publishers, please contact me and CC the publisher. I may not reply that day, but I will respond. The forums are not an ideal place to discuss these type of logistics.

I've been assisting freelancers working with the same 3rd party publisher for the past few weeks. In fact, a number of those freelancers have already finished their projects. If you contact me directly, CCing the publisher, I'm just I can also assist you.

I've sent you email Liz. Thanks.
