I have looked at this book, and I think it would be very good if we can get it translated into English so we have something for users while Dan and others are finishing the English Base Guide that Dan has been working on for several years. The first translation does not need to be into good English (although that would be preferred), because other people can edit and correct the English. I understand that you don't want to do it, Robert, and that's okay. Who can help? Martin? Hazel? Someone lurking on this list? No one needs to commit to doing the whole book. --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
