I don't think I did any updates past Ch1 of the WG on the wiki, and I
might have made some random updates in other chapters, but not in any
systemic way (occasionally I do wiki updates at the same time as ODT
updates, but not very often... in fact, rarely). I doubt that anyone
else has made any updates. Have fun, and remember the goal is to have
the wiki match the ODT/PDF -- with one exception: sometimes people have
added extra links from the wiki pages to other wiki pages or outside
information. Please keep those links when you make other updates. They
are often not so relevant to the UGs (eg, links to bug reports), so they
don't need to be brought back into the ODTs.

Also, regarding pictures: before replacing an image (ie, uploading a
replacement image to overwrite the image on the wiki) check to see if it
is used on more than one wiki page. If it is also used in 2.x docs, then
don't replace it: change the file name in the text and upload a new
image. (To find out what pages an image is used on, click on the image
to go to the image's page, then scroll down to the bottom to the list of
"what links to this".) Also, in Ch2 of the WG, you can probably reuse
many images from Ch2 of GS by changing the filename on the WG page to
match the one on the GS page.

Cheers, Jean
