NOTE

PLEASE DO NOT POST PUBLICLY without editing
out personal information (beyond Who I am" line).
This background info is only to establish bona-fides
for Nvu & OOo management/leadership purposes. This
is my first contribution.
I should be glad to correspond further, this
subject toward establishing a working relationship.
But my focus remains on using the tools while
participating passively ("lurking") as needed for
the most part.
I am relying on the truth of the OOo website
statement that "... if you are not already subscribed,
your message will be moderated." For now, I should
desire to keep as low a public profile as possible.
I have plenty of other things to keep me very busy
without having to be in the center of activities. I
can jump in when I believe I have something to
valuable enough contribute.

Comment on Nvu & OOo interoperability
=====================================
Due to Nvu's apparent limited content editing
abilities, I've found it necessary to use OOo for the
heavy lifting to get the look & feel of the pages I'm
trying to produce. I find it not too difficult to
go back and forth between OOo & Nvu, always
publishing to .html format. So far I haven't discovered
any real incompatibilities.
I'd like to see greater interoperability between
the two applications, perhaps to the point where
Nvu can essentially become an integrated web publishing
component or plug-in for OOo. The wider vision potential
of what I envision should beat any MS Office - FrontPage -
Publisher combination.
The above comment is from initial efforts at
using Nvu (i.e. a new user, not entirely familiar with
all its capabilities -- learning via the "school of
hard knox" a.k.a. "hacking" my way to knowledge/learning.)
After exploring Nvu a bit for it's stability and
usability, I have just begun to use it for some real
work -- in this case to produce documentation for a
non-commercial CD for small distribution.

===========================
For several decades now, I have acted as an
advanced user ("sherpa") wringing out the best of new
technology while trying to do real work and providing
feedback to developers. My real focus is to try to
get real work done while secondarily trying to
contribute toward advancing the state of art with the
goal of making my own job easier.
I understand enough of IT to generally know
what is possible and could actually develop some code
myself, should the need be strong enough to go thru
the effort & detailed learning required to do a
good job at it. (Going back to the early 1980's I
found myself in the position of having to do so.) Along
the way, my learning efforts included attending classes
at Berlin Technical University studying Informatik as
well as self-study and taking other university level
courses in programming and technical engineering (i.e.
software, hardware, and systems).
