Passing on an idea that came up in a discussion on the OOoAuthors
list...

...what we need in my opinion is a kind of user guide issuezilla
where we could capture:
- "Roadmap" items i.e. improvements made to the program that are
not captured in the user guide. When a version of OOo is
released, normally it comes with a very comprehensive list of
what has been added. all we need to do is for people who are
familiar with the contents of the User guide to check what should
be added and create an "issue"
- "bug" items i.e. typos, wrong procedures...
- "Request for enhancement" items, i.e. topics that are not
adequately covered or not covered at all in the user guide.
My comment: we need something like this, but easy to find, add
to, and annotate ... definitely NOT using the existing issuezilla
system (not that I think Michele was suggesting that).
IMO, such a concept (or at least a first iteration of it) could
quickly and easily be implemented on the wiki as a simple page,
or series of pages. No doubt better and more sophisticated
solutions can be found, but in my experience the easiest ones are
more likely to actually be used, despite their flaws.
Many "roadmap" items would be relevant to several forms of user
docs, and "RFE" items could be too -- or in some cases we might
want to discuss what's the best place for a particular one
(how-to, user guide, whatever).
