Hi Jean,
Have you seen his website and his book? They are good resources for
people who want serious info on macros. (Shameless plug for Andrew)

Just as a side remark, and hijacking this thread somewhat, it has always
amazed me how fragmented the market for books on OOo, and now LibO, has
been. From just the references I know of :
English language books : editors I have seen range from Lulu (individual
authoring), Sam's, the "for Dummies" series, probably a few others of
which I've not heard.
French language : a plethora of small publishing houses by different
authors, mostly OOo/LibO module-centric, e.g. Eyrolles is perhaps the
most well-known publisher. They also produce the excellent book on Macro
programming by Laurent Godard and Bernard Marcelly (in French only alas).
German language : books by Thomas Krumbein, covering each module of the
suite. There are others I have seen on my travels to Germany.
In my experience, it is fairly rare to see one editor publish in
multiple languages, the exception possibly being the "for Dummies" book.
I am at a loss to understand why this might be, after all, there are a
fair number of talented technical translators out there, but I suppose
that translation costs inevitably eat into editors' margins.

Hi Alex
Being new to the project (I have only been involved with LibreOffice and
was not at OOo), from what I see, and, I'm sure that I am stating the
obvious, it just looks like it is mostly for the lack of help. There are
a few of the "front line" contributors outside of the dev team, and not
enough of the (what I would call) "second line contributors" whose main
task is to translate documentation into various languages. There are
just too few people contributing. Plus, the front line contributors also
take care of too many peripheral tasks that distract from their main
contribution areas.
Cheers
Marc
