Hello Docs Team, You may have seen this note from Marc here or on another list. IMO Docs is self-funding through sales of printed copies of books, but if there is anything you think should be added to the official LO wishlist, please respond on this thread. (And please read the rest of this note first.)
My wishlist (for items not covered by book sales) includes funding for one full-time-equivalent technical writer (actually 2 or 3 part-time people), but I don't think that's a realistic thing to put on the official wishlist. :-) --Jean On Tue, Nov 20, 2012 at 4:52 AM, Marc Paré <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > Just to clarify.
