Hi :) No-one has asked about that ever before! lol. I really like the French wiki/faq. Just 1 person is translating it into English and he is rather busy with other crucial parts of the project. So, almost none of it is done yet.
I guess the ideal answer, given what we have at the moment, would be to add your new entries to the French one? That might help avoid confusion about which pages have to be translated the other way. It would be fantastic if you could translate a few of the more frequent faqs, or just any of them really! I was not sure whether to use FAQ or Faq in the url. I felt that FAQ was a bit "shout"y and the documentation team at the time didn't disagree because they were busy with other things. Using Faq keeps it more consistent with urls in the rest of the documentation wiki eg http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Faq http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile Spaces in names would mean lots of confusing %20's appearing in addresses which is messy, far from transparent and ugly imo. Writingeverythingasonelongwordwithnobreaksisalsoquitetrickytoreadimo so i settled on CamelCase http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CamelCase AsCamelCaseSeemsToBeEasierForPeopleToReadAsWellAsMakingLinkingEasier So i guess what i am saying is that the English Faq is still up for grabs and ripe for changes. If it does become useful then it might be worth linking to from the official website http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/faq/ but at the moment it would be really bad to point people at the empty framework that lacks any content and pointing people to the excellent French one would probably create complaints. It is fantastic to see someone interested! :) If you need a hand with formatting wiki-pages or want ideas about layout or even just trivial questions about wiki-markup then please feel free to ask. Some people just plonk good content with little or no formatting and that is fine too as other people can do the formatting quite happily. If you don't have time to do more than add a few things then even that would still be very much appreciated.

So I thought about FAQ and searched for it and I found : - http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/faq/ which is a good introduction Faq but quite light for users. - https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/FR/FAQ which is quite interesting but in French (for me no problem, it's my native language :-)) On https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation#FAQ, I read this : The French Team created an FAQ which is being translated into English http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Faq Now here are the questions : - I want to add a new entry to the FAQ : should I add it in French part, then it'll be translated by other people ? Or should I add it in English Faq, perhaps both ? - Should the FAQ be 1 big page (like English one) or several pages (like French ones) ? - Is the French Team "officialy" in charge of increasing FAQ then some people translate in English ? I mean is there a synchronization for example what about if there's a add in English, should French Team detect it and add it translated in French Faq ? - What about the other languages ? - Could there be links (or 1 single link) to FAQ wiki pages from http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/faq/ ? More generally : there are info from libreoffice website and info from wiki, it could be interesting to put more wiki links on libreoffice website.
