Hi :) Would it make sense for the Chapters on each specific app to be repeated as an overview chapter in each of the guides dedicated to that app? The GS chapter on "Getting Started with Writer" would be the same as the Writers Guide's "Introducing Writer" and editing either in Alfresco would automatically update the other.
There is extra info in the Writers Guide's Intro that is basically a brief overview of LibreOffice generally. The info there is fairly much the same in all the other guides so could it form a separate chapter, probably just 2 pages. Again, editing it in any guide would update the chapter in all guides. We talked about this sort of thing briefly a few weeks ago in regards to the Macros Chapter but i am still not certain about how feasable it is or even whether it would be wise or not. I think it would help each guide be a "stand alone" guide. At the moment to understand the Calc chapter on "Macros" people have to get the Getting Started Guide. It might help to consolidate the works and reduce the currently duplicated workload for a few chapters. It might make it easier for ODFauthors, NeoOffice and Apache to adapt your guides to their forks = which would make this team their upstream leader :) Obviously there would be disadvantages too, such as issues about context, perhaps making guides a little larger, confusion for new editors. I just wondered what other people think about this sort of approach?
