I'm sure there was someone else who said he was working on a
chapter of the Calc Guide, but I don't remember who it was.
Peter, I'll see if I can find the note, but meanwhile I hope the
person sees this discussion and speaks up!
I have a draft that is over half done and it is..."Using Formulas and
Functions" (Chapter 3). It will, of course, be too long and overly
slanted to newbies, and will be heavily edited down to half of it size
by the time the fine folks here are done with it.
I will start on it in a couple of days...after I finish the Charting
tutorial.
Also, a reminder to all that I would really like to have a full
Calc Guide to take to a conference in late October. If drafts of
the missing chapters are available by the end of August, they
could be reviewed during September and early October. A bit of a
fast schedule, perhaps, but I reckon if we don't have a goal to
shoot for, we will never reach it.
Rick, you said that discussions on the list are "horribly slanted
towards Writer". Heh! You know how to fix that, don't you? :-)
Find some more Calc authors?
I have a reasonably broad (although not terribly deep in some areas)
knowledge of Calc and I'm willing to help out with the Calc Guide, in
whatever way I'm able (either writing new chapters if needed, depending
on the topic of course, or reviewing existing chapters).
Do we have a list of what is needed to be done?
