Dan,
Are there any changes you know of that need to be made to the Getting
Started with Base chapter for LO v3.5?

No. There has only been one change in Base in the past two years (maybe
more), and that has already been addressed.
I would like to have many more changed needed, but that does not seem
likely. Perhaps whoever is working on Base needs a reward system to improve
Base to the quality it should have. Ah, I must be dreaming...

Actually, that is a thought well worth pursuing, and there may be some
possibilities. Nudge me now and then so I don't forget to follow up on some
ideas.
Meanwhile, I will amend the copyright page and reissue GS with Base as a v3.5
chapter.

Today, I filed a bug with LO. I want Base to be changed so that it
is only a front end for HSQLDB which would continue to be the database
engine (RDBMS) for LO. The database files (data, log, properties, and
script) would be removed from the .odb file and written to a selected
folder. This is what happens now if a person uses Base to connect to the
latest version of HSQLDB. (Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Java > Class
path has the location of the HSQLDB jar file.)
Very little code will be needed, and some of the code removed to
do this.
