Hi :) It's also been given as a link directly when people ask questions about Base as it's been about the only viable documentation about it. However that was mostly during odd moments when you and Dan weren't around or weren't swift enough to answer before me. I've been a lot slower in the last several months, maybe even a year so it's not happened so much lately. The handbook has been a boon and before that there was the first couple of chapters of the guide but the only complete documentation has been the Faq.
However if people edit out stuff that is important then just edit it back. There is a high chance they did it 1. by accident 2. as part of a restructuring that might have never been finished 3. by a a different team that didn't really realise the importance of the link (or whatever) Number 1 is the most frequent. Often before or after doing edits i ask for opinions or ask people to check it's ok but they are too busy with getting through the guides quickly. The team is tiny and doesn't have much time for unfamiliar work. Please if you notice problems with the wiki please let me know or just fix it. Many deepest apols and regards from Tom :) ----- Original Message ----- > From: Sophie Gautier <[email protected]> > To: "[email protected]" > <[email protected]> > Cc: > Sent: Saturday, 11 May 2013, 7:24 > Subject: Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: Filling the EN FAQ > > Hi Alex, > On 11/05/2013 07:43, Alexander Thurgood wrote: >> Le 10/05/13 13:11, Sophie Gautier a écrit : >> >> >> Hi Sophie, >>> >>> Just for information, I'm filling the EN FAQ based on the FR one. > There >>> is some proofreading greatly needed, and don't hesitate to laugh at > my >>> mistakes :) >> >> Good luck.
