I recommend not providing it online, as the guide does not yet provide additional information to that already displayed at: http://download.openoffice.org/2.0beta/instructions.html
Too late. I have been waiting for info and consensus was that it should
be available.
If Scott and yourself is consenus, fine.
I want to thank you for attaching http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/23318/instructions.html to help make the windows part of the guide.
However, I am curious why you would think these were necessary when I already have the full source of the 1.x.x guides?
Well, I was wondering why you did not include the content of the 1.x.x guides in the draft 2.0 guide ;-p
Also, I noticed that you included the check list that I prepared at ../2.0Beta/instructions.html so I thought that you were going down or along that path.
Also, it is misleading in that we don't have a Mac OS X version of 2.0 Beta and we need to check whether we are providing instructions to install RPMs on Debian, or obtaining the .debs and using the usual Debian apt-get etc. I'm not sure of the status of the other platforms, but perhaps we need to make these conditional (not displayed) until they are available.
To the best of my knowledge, having asked on porting, there is no 2.0 for Max as yet. I included the install for Macs simply because there will be a release at some point and Mac users may only see the current guide.
However I have noted your concerns.
OK. I have already had one complaint to webmasters that we are leading Mac users astray as they don't find out until much later that they are not downloading 2.0 Beta.
I would appreciate a review before putting it out as a draft.
I have added to the Windows section based on the types of questions I am often called upon to answer at webmasters.
As I have indicated in the issue, as the images kept disappearing on me, I have essentially poured in the content hopefully providing signposts to the outline :( Very little formatting as I thought this could wait until if and when the content is reviewed and accepted.
The images do not disappear for me. I think you have a buggy release. What are you using m79? If yes upgrade to at least m82 otherwise file an issue. If this is a pdf bug, then file an issue. I cannot reproduce your findings on the information you have provided.
It was not to do with creating PDF docs, and there appears to be a few issues that are to do with disappearing graphics. Having wrestled with OpenOffice.org today (as the source was a .odt file), I'm quite happy to go back to a stable release and a text editor for instructions.html.
