Instead of just adding a comment to this issue, I will comment here, because I
think others on this list may have useful input.
This issue originated in May 2006 with a translation from a French document, but
an English version was never finished. Meanwhile, Dan Lewis wrote a chapter
("Getting Started with Base") for the Getting Stated guide. Dan's chapter covers
much of the same how-to info as the doc in this issue, but this doc begins with
some additional basic ideas (background info) about relational database systems
and approaches the whole topic from a slightly different perspective.
I think the doc in this issue is worth the effort to bring up to date and edit
further for publication, though with a different title, to distinguish it from
the chapter in the GS book.
At a minimum, the doc in the issue would need updating to OOo3. We should find
out if the French original has been updated. If so, it might be better to get
the updates translated into English and work from there.
Further consideration: should it be turned into a wiki document (series of wiki
pages) instead of being only in .odt? Should that be done now, before updating,
labelling all the pages as needing work to bring up to date?
