it was mentioned that a restructuring of the AOO build Guides would be a
good idea.
I am starting this thread as a place where people can discuss ideas of
what this my look like. For reference the current Build Guide is here:
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO.
This should be a wide ranging discussion that leads to clearer
instructions to be able to build AOO; especially for new volunteers.

Hi Keith,
Thanks for volunteering to help with this.
I have a few thoughts on the step-by-step pages.
1. Break it by AOO version and then OS. I think there are many sections
that are probably obsolete now and it's hard to tell, especially for
someone new.
2. Maybe a section or a new page on configuration options and uses-cases
on when to use which ones for different platforms. This has always been
a point of confusion for me.
Like I mentioned in another thread where I'm trying to build latest on
CentOS 8. I have some VM's setup to test build instructions and I think
I'll add a few more Linux's like Ubuntu or Debian.
Since I have one ready and I'm stuck building CentOS 8 I'll start on
CentOS 7.
So I guess I'm doing some volunteering too ;)
I'll let you know what I find.
Best regards,
Carl
