Hi Per,
i think it is a very good idea to consolidate the different resources
(webpages, wiki pages) in one place. It definitely make sense to put
some organization in it or at least reorganize the stuff we have to make
it easier to start and to find the correct things.
The question is where to put the stuff. A new well structured section under
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Development/Building_the_software/...
or
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_the_software/...
or should it start even shorter
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Building_the_software/...
I expect some hierarchical structure similar to the DevGuide with
sections for the different platforms etc.
Anyway i really appreciate your work and that you bring it up and what's
even more important, you started your work already ;-)
I will try to support you where i can!

Hello,
I am cross-posting this to dev and documentation, but think that best
would be if discussions run on dev, as many of the details probably will
be discussed there.
As a part of the Simplifying entry for new developers [1] effort I have
the idea of collecting all the wiki pages about building the software
into a building guide, as the developer guide [2]. I have discussed with
several people about including it into the developer guide, but the
answer was always that the developer guide would get too big. I
therefore see building as an own process or part.
Having a building guide would simplify and make it easier for new
developers to find articles and getting to the right pages faster by
providing the navigation as in the developer guide.
This work would be done by sorting, consolidating and editing the
various wiki pages into a guide with a structure.
In this work various negative comments about building OpenOffice.org
being impossible in the articles will be replaced by constructive tips
for the developer.
If you think this is a good idea, I will start a new small effort for
this in the wiki.
