Subject: [documentation-dev] Gap in the Guide

Dear Jean and developers of OOoBase:
The Base tutorial is about 80% finished. The text has received input
from Drew Jensen (invaluable help, thanks!) and William Marchant, who is
editing it. Stephane, a member from a French OOo list is attempting a
translation to French (and when I'm done with the English version, I
will start a translation to Spanish!). Unfortunately, the 20% remaining
can only be completed with the assistance of a technical person, someone
like Drew who knows Base intimately. At this moment Drew is taking some
time off of the project to attend other matters. Jean, I would be very
appreciative if you can connect me with one of the other Base
programmers you know. I can see that there is a lot of enthusiasm with
the release of version 3 and I am sure that most resources are devoted
to this endeavor. However, one can only notice that the folders at
OOoAuthors for a Base Guide are empty for both, versions 2 and 3(*). I
believe that this tutorial can come in on time to fill a very important
gap. Given that this project is so close to completion, I really urge a
programmer to take interest in it and give William, Stephane and me the
help we need to finish the tutorial as soon as possible.
I have posted requesting help not only in this list but also in the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] list, but with no success. I am now appealing to
your influence.
Thanks in advance,
Mariano.
(*) On the other side, documentation.openoffice.org has only two entries
for Base: The manual by Manuel Naudin translated to English from French,
and an early an incomplete first draft of the Tutorial. You can find
them here:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=597&expandFolder=597&folderID=597.
Jean, I also have in my hard disk a copy of the manual in which you
participated but I am now unsure about where to find it.
