Please pardon the giant "snip" and a reply to only one point in
Graham's note. I agree with all he said, but wanted to expand on
one item.

We need to be selling the migration process.
Part of the support information for the migration process could
be the Migration Guide produced by OOoAuthors and available in
free PDF from the Documentation Project or printed copy from
Lulu.com, and planned to be put on the OOo wiki.

Unfortunately, this guide hasn't been reviewed and updated in a
long time (May 2006) due to a lack of resources, so I don't know
if it's fully accurate in terms of OOo2.3. Also, the guide could
possibly be expanded in ways that would assist in migration
situations. Indeed, those who work with real migrations might
have many suggestions for improvements in the book... even "scrap
it and start again; here's what we need" if that's the case --
such suggestions are most welcome.
But someone would need to do the work of updating/ expanding/
replacing the current book. Do people here think that's worth
doing? Would the book be useful to you? And if so, can anyone
suggest what should be done and who might be available to do the
work?
