I would recommend that one person be responsible for say a biweekly blog, whether that person actually writes or has someone else is open. I think if there is live person for contact it may be more effective. Any suggestions for the first few topics? I could write something in the next few days, just do not have a topic off the top of my head. Like Crabby I think it should focus on tips and tricks to do more with LO than answer very specific user questions. -- Jay Lozier [email protected] -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
