Sums it up pretty well IMO. Being one of those ancient volunteers from the days when OOo was first released, the integrated Help was actually more complete than it is now. At some point in time (I don't remember when exactly, but possibly between OOo 2 and OOo3 development, a decision was made to slim down the help content, when the switch was made to XML files instead of what I believe was a binary encoded help system (at that time). Needless to say, this didn't improve the overall quality and relevance of the integrated help. There are attempts at improving it though. I believe that there is/was an extension that facilitates writing help content, although I haven't looked recently at how that integrates with the project's git code repo and submission by any volunteer - probably slightly more complicated than most people are prepared to accept. The wiki help is supposed to allow an easier transition into allowing volunteers to write help documentation, but again, knowing where to put stuff, and learning to use mediawiki is an extra hurdle for a lot of people who would be perfectly happy just writing stuff without having to worry about code. If Sophie or someone else from the l10n project is reading this thread, they might be able to say more about where the project is today with facilitating creation (and maintenance) of help content.

As Robert has mentioned, you must make sure that the data type stored in Calc is really a DATE and not just a text string *formatted* as a date, otherwise the import to Base will import the text string. It is also not impossible that the import wizard has a bug when it comes to interpreting dates, or that this functionality is dependent on the version of LibreOffice you are using, as the DATE API changed sometime during 4.1 development and has had further work done on it since then. These changes could have had a knock on effect on the import wizard.

[libreoffice-documentation] Re: User guides are not the only choice
Le 26/08/2014 07:58, PeeWee a écrit : Hi Peter, In my opinion, the user guides and Help are the starting point for any other documentation/information about using LibreOffice. So, anybody who works on other documentation should check the user guides and Help so that the information is the same across all documentation. When writing the Impress and Draw Guides, I did check the Help of each module to make sure that information was reasonably consistent. It is not perfect and could be improved. The problem with relying on the built-in Help is that it is either wrong, obsolete, or incomplete, especially where new features are concerned. Currently, writing help files for the built-in Help system is an utter nightmare, and involves being knowledgable in, and having the time to, wade through a vary unwieldy set of XML conventions. The end result is that no one wants to edit the Help files to keep them up to date. Additionally, we encounter the well known phenonemon of developer reticence about explaining how to actually use the new feature for which they've just coded. Getting developers to provide meaningful code comments is hard enough, because each has their own view on how much any given other developer should be capable of understanding. None, as far as I know (and I'm prepared to stand corrected), other than those working on the Help system itself, have ever written an XML help file for the built-in Help system. All of this makes it very hard to write accurate, up to date user documentation, but the problem in itself isn't new, merely exacerbated by the frenetic pace of development.

Our problem, AFAICT, has not been in attracting volunteers. The problem is attracting -- and keeping -- the right volunteers: that is, people with the time and knowledge. I agree. Volunteers need both time and continued enthusiasm - I have little time, and my own personal enthusiasm for writing/translating documentation has waned as I have seen that it is impossible to keep up with the pace of development and/or the new bugs that are introduced as a result of that development. Ultimately, how one feels about the quality of a product affects one's enthusiasm to write stuff about it. This has caused me to focus on working on QA, rather than documentation - after all, if the product doesn't work as intended, why not try and get it fixed (sometimes a vain hope) rather than attempt to write documentation which, when released, will essentially/probably be out of date and/or inaccurate ? By the way, this is not a plug to draw people from the doc project to QA, just my personal experience ! Documentation needs a solid base from which to work - IMO, this means that the software shouldn't be changing its product characteristics and features every 6 months (or less) - if you don't have that, the efforts that go into creating and maintaining documentation for the product imply relying on a massive documenter group to keep up and currently, the LO documentation project doesn't have that critical mass.

FWIW, I agree with Robert. Firebird is an experimental option at present in 4.2. In other words, the user doesn't even get to see that there is the possibility to create an embedded firebird db unless they turn on the experimental options in LO's preferences. Assuming that someone foolhardy enough will do that, and then complain that it doesn't work as intended (which Robert, I, and others all know about as we filed/validated the bug reports), I still don't think it is worth concentrating our documentation efforts (including translation) on an embedded db engine which still has too many failings to be of any daily, practical, use. The aim of the tool is to be a replacement for embedded hsqldb and for the moment, this is simply not the case.

Telling people to turn off built-in security, install an app, and then turn it back on again afterwards, is not the solution and will not endear people to trying out LO, and/or keeping it. Oh wait, I forgot, you have to turn it off again every time you do an update of LO or every time you want to install a language pack, or else leave it off permanently. I find it hard to accept that we advise users to upgrade their versions of LO in general when sec vulns get fixed whilst telling the OSX population to turn off their own security mechanisms, seems somewhat hypocritical to me. Of course, if you don't care, then you can leave the setting off by default, but that is not what happens in default off the shelf sales of Apple hard/software combinations and those are the people we are trying to target. Of course, none of this will be sorted until such time as LibreOffice is available in the AppleStore as a certified app, but that will not happen soon, if at all, if my understanding of Apple's conditions for accepting apps is correct.

Apple users like the quasi-perfection they experience with the basic OS and most apps designed for it. LO does not provide that experience, and is in many respects still light years away from it.

As far as I'm concerned, both. - Should the FAQ be 1 big page (like English one) or several pages (like French ones) ? Like I said above, there should already be a skeleton structure in the English FAQ, which I copied over from the French FAQ (but I haven't checked in a while, so things might have changed). - Is the French Team officialy in charge of increasing FAQ then some people translate in English ? I mean is there a synchronization for example what about if there's a add in English, should French Team detect it and add it translated in French Faq ? No, there was nothing official, as far as I know, it was just me being fed up of there being nothing equivalent to what I found was a rather good French approach, and so the easiest thing in my mind was to translate the French FAQ into English (adapting where necessary). - What about the other languages ? No idea. There doesn't seem to be much synchronisation between the various N-L groups, but that was what each group wanted originally. - Could there be links (or 1 single link) to FAQ wiki pages from http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/faq/ ? The Silverstripe engine originally had an automatic translation feature, but it was decided early on not to use it (I don't really understand by whom or how that decision was made, or whether it just happened). One of the problems, so I understood, was linked to the Virtual Domain linking of such translated pages (i.e. they were not visible to others outside of the project space in which they had been created, it was all somewhat over my head).
