Michele and Michael have finished editing the Draw guide chapters and I've
assembled the book and made pdf files of everything. I think I'm ready to
upload the  final versions, but I think I'm about to deviate from the
folder structure in other repositories. I plan to put the odt and pdf files
for the standalone chapters and the book in the ForWiki subfolder of the
Draw folder. I do not have separate individual chapter files to put in the
Draw folder. In other repositories, I believe the files at that level are
the content that is combined to form the book. I think the only differences
between the standalone chapter files and the chapter files that make up the
book are in the front matter. The standalone chapters have the  copyright
page and the ToC and their title includes the guide name and mentions the
AOO Documentation Team. None of that is needed in the book at the chapter
level.
In my opinion, having two slightly different versions of each chapter is
not worth the trouble. I built the book by copying the appropriate parts of
the title page and the body of the text from the standalone chapters. Am I
making a mistake by having only the single-chapter files and the book?
