I received no response to my question on the 12th about the status of updating the Calc Guide on the wiki, and I see no evidence on the wiki itself that anyone is working on this, so I need one or more volunteers to do it. We need to update the wiki pages (starting here http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Calc_Guide to match the published Calc Guide chapters from here: http://www.oooauthors.org/english/userguide3/calc3/cg3-published
This work may involve updating text, images, or both. How you do it is up to you. My method is to export to MediaWiki format from the ODT files and then copy-and-paste text as needed into the wiki. I have not yet written instructions for this, but the essentials are as follows: 1) Obtain and install the Sun Wiki Publisher extension to OOo. http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/wikipublisher Restart OOo after installing this extension. 2) To export, open the ODT in Writer and use File > Export. Choose MediaWiki as the file format in the Export dialog and choose where to put the file on your computer. It will have a .TXT extension. 3) Open the TXT file in OOo or in a text editor to copy and paste material to the wiki. 4) Figures (and figure numbers) must be inserted/updated by hand. Optional, but very useful in some cases: TJ Frazier's code to post-process the output of the MediaWiki export filter (the TXT file) to clean up the code for tip/note/caution tables. http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/User:TJFrazier/WikiBasic In OOo, create a macro and paste in the code. Then run the macro on the TXT file. I will write all this up in more detail later and put it on the website. Meanwhile, please volunteer to have a go at one or more chapters of the Calc Guide!
