Hi :) I think we agreed to use Ubuntu using the "Silver theme" but it works in most other distros or there is one very similar and even Mac and Windows have similar themes.
Using an OpenSource platform meant people could get on with the work without spending months and endless discussions about Eulas and potentially paying for specialist lawyers to guess at what MS or Apple might do if they felt LibreOffice started to threaten their dominance or profits. David, Alex and i had some of that joy in other lists but managed to settle things down eventually. When starting a new topic please write a new email and copy&paste the address into the "To" field rather than just clicking on "Reply to" and changing the subject-line. Most of us did the wrong way at first too and i have only just worked out how to fix it when other people do. So, don't worry about it. It's good to have someone new in the team :) Regards from Tom :) --- On Sun, 6/11/11, Peter Schofield <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Peter Schofield <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [libreoffice-documentation] "how-to" or "howto" > To: [email protected] > Date: Sunday, 6 November, 2011, 10:19 > Hello > > Being a new boy to the team, I thought I would contribute > to this little discussion. > > In my opinion it should be "how to" and "read me".
