I'm copying a recent comment from issue 102393 regarding the draft
Installation Guide for OOo3.x, in the hope of getting some feedback
from a wider range of people on this list. Especially someone with Mac
OOo knowledge re item 5. --Jean
1) the guide does not mention the extensibility of OOo with extensions
and templates, available at OOo Extensions and Templates sites, which
is funny, as a regular user of OOo knows this and doesn't need an
installation guide, but a newbie to OOo needs this guide and as such
is not familiar with the concept of extensions of an office suite
(i.e. an user of MSO). I guess the last chapter should include a
section "Extending OpenOffice.org" and describe the possibilities.
This needs not to be extensive, just to point the user to extensions
site and warn a user that not all extensions are intended for all
operating systems; special mention of additional spell-check
dictionaries might be useful;
2) I would suggest to add a subsection Updating OOo to the last
chapter, that mentions that Sun builds have a function in Help menu to
check for updates of their office suite, and that they can also
automatically be warned of updates of the installed extensions and
also perform their update via Extension Manager
3) The guide is written very English-centric, for users that will use
the English version; a localization-purpose subversion of guide could
be made with more emphasis on langpacks if starting from an English
installation etc.
4) page 8 does not mention Windows 7; does this mean OOo 3.2 does not
work or is not supported on Windows 7?
5) page 17: (Mac installation) it says that on multiuser installation
you move the app icon to the trash, but for the single user
installation you do not need to move the app icon to the trash but to
delete the App support subfolder? In a multiuser installation you do
not need to or cannot delete the prefs subforlder?
