Hi :) I definitely agree that it makes sense to have brief coverage of relevant issues in a guide even tho there is separate guide dedicated to the issues.
With macros there are likely to be issues that are fairly unique to each app. Some things that people are likely to want to do in Calc are (hopefully) much less relevant to Writer. How brief to keep that sort of thing is a tough choice. Perhaps the introductory few paragraphs could be fairly similar in all guides? With Base documentation it might be great to copy that to the specifically Base area and then cut the stuff that is in the Getting Started Guide? As for email clients then i think we might need a disclaimer saying that they are separate projects and then try to avoid corporate scenarios where they have an MS Exchange Server. Perhaps just cover the simplest scenarios. I think i am just re-stating what other people have said but it makes sense to me and sounds like a good direction imo.

More precisely, macros need to get coverage in the Getting Started guide and other guides, but deserve a dedicated guide on the subject going into the subject in full detail. -- David Nelson -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
