I've imported the Calc page here:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/nl/Makkelijk_overstappen_van_Excel_naar_Calc
The Writer page is here:

I've been looking over this, and... there is a fairly comprehensive
document on the Wiki explaining differences between Word/Writer and
Excel/Calc:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Migration_Guide/Writer_and_Word
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Migration_Guide/Calc_and_Excel
I'm wondering how much value there is in translating the Dutch quick
reference to English.
Those documents are out of date, as they were written for OOo2.x.
They may or may not be correct with reference to OOo3.x. Also, they
don't include more recent versions of MS Office, so they are a bit
limited.
Is the Dutch quick reference more up to date? If so, it probably is
worth translating into English.
The Dutch quick-reference is just a few point-form bullets on what is
different. It is not a detailed list or explanation, and misses out
on a lot of things compared to the Migration Guide.
By the way: pls mention things that you think should be added. Things
that people really stumble upon.
I would be glad to add those.
That is done on purpose.
In my experience in most cases, only few points are hurdles for people
when they start with OpenOffice.org.
Explaining those helps. Giving a document with a lot of information
(that in itself is correct and useful) can easily become an extra hurdle
:-)
Yesterday I worked on an update.
Few words extra here and there to make it less staccato.
And added few screenprints.
I'll send it to Clayton, cause he understands Dutch, to hear what he
thinks: if it makes sense to work further in that direction.
Regards,
Cor
