I would like to pursue this line of thought a bit further. How do you propose to start the process? From scratch, or from the existing OOo docs? If from scratch, why? If from the existing OOo docs, then are you saying they should be wikified before people make the LibO-specific changes? Wikifying existing docs is a lot of work, so it seems to me that the first step should be updating the content of the existing ODTs and then wikifying them. After that, maintenance could occur on the wiki, as you suggest. Personally, I don't think that is a good idea for reasons I stated in previous notes, but the group could choose to go that way. IMO for the first release of LibO, ideally we would have PDFs and printed books available, as well as info on the wiki. Started from the ODTs is the fastest way to do all of that. For future releases, the method could be quite different. --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] List archive: http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/documentation/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
