+1 I think gentle mentoring will be very useful for newcomers, since there is considerable tacit lore that needs to be grasped before taking bigger steps. This seems to apply for documentation as well as for working on the code, since there are toolcraft requirements as well as practices to

Rebooting the Documentation Effort

[bcc: dev@] Hi Keith, I have belatedly noticed your efforts to reboot the documentation effort, first in April and again in December, 2015. I commend you on this. While people raise their hands, we don't seem to achieve traction. I would like to know from those who did not persevere,

RE: How to Work with Templates Version 0.2 PDF

Thanks, Doug. Concerning exported PDFs, I agree that setting up a Navigation Pane is a good idea. I don't know whether that was a limitation when the PDF version 1.4 document was produced via OpenOffice.org 1.1 in 2004. Good luck using the PDF export provisions of current Apache OpenOffice.
