I propose to reorganise some of this book and perhaps drop some of the
chapters. I have put this info on the forum, but I wanted to mention
it on the list, too. Please add comments to the forum thread (okay to
comment here, if you prefer).

Chapter 14: Working with Graphics and the Gallery
Remove from this book? These topics are covered in the guides for the
various components; is a summary needed here?
Chapter 15: Using Fontwork
Remove from this book? Fontwork is covered in both the Impress and
Draw Guides and could be added to the Writer Guide, perhaps in the
chapter on graphics. Is this chapter needed here?
Chapter 16: Creating Web Pages
Remove from this book and put the relevant bits into the guides for
the various components? (The info on saving presentations as Web pages
is already in the Impress Guide.)
It is good to have all the components present in GS, because GS may well
serve as a presentation to the functions & features of OOo. If they want
to know more, that's when specific guides are needed.
Besides, I hardly translated GS to Romanian, I don't see translating
other guides so it is good that GS presents all of OOo, at least as
introductory chapters.
