Hi all,
Lately, I have been thinking about the available documentation for
v.5.x.x of LibreOffice which we all know is in the works.
I am wondering if the following would make any sense to the
documentation workflow:
At the announcement of any large upgrade to LibreOffice, (in this case
v.5.x.x), that the documentation team (all members) make sure that the
"Getting Started" guide gets its full attention and is given priority in
being updated. At that point, all other documentation updates are put on
hold, and the "Getting Started v.X.0.0" takes precedence in getting
completely updated after which, when done, the doc team returns to its
normal workflow.
This would ensure that at the very least the "Getting Started" guide is
completed and ready for publication.
This would also ensure that the LibreOffice teams have, at the very
least, the "Getting Started" guide to offer LibreOffice users at the
individual or large scale installation education/business/corporate levels.
So, my suggestion is that, at the very least, the "Getting Started"
guide would get precedence in getting updated for the large upgrades for:
LibreOffice v.5.0.0
LibreOffice v.6.0.0
LibreOffice v.7.0.0
The "Getting Started" guide would then eventually be part of the
announcements/news releases of the major LibreOffice upgrades. The
benefit to this is that the LibreOffice documentation team would then
have more of a raised profile at the time of these major news releases
and would also have one completed documentation to offer organizations
such as Libraries, educational users, corporate users, and individual
users of LibreOffice etc.
I know this is asking much of the doc community, but my concern at this
point is that we are now working at v.5.0.4 where some users and large
scale installers may move to this latest version of LibreOffice, but
will find that there is no documentation available for it, but that some
documentation is being updated but with no fixed date of completion.
Would this approach work?
Note that the reason I am suggesting this is also because I am hoping to
convince a few libraries in Canada to purchase the guides, but they
would most likely not want to purchase the LibreOffice v.4 if the most
recent v.5 has been out for a while. The same for a group of local LUG
users and also other individuals I help with LibreOffice v.5.x.x.

That link is to the latest. Very little has been done on a more up to
date version. :-(

Hi all,
I am just helping out a small group using LibreOffice and wondered if there
is a version of Getting Started for v.5.0.x?
If that version is not available is the v.4.2 the latest guide ... it is the
one on this page that I am on:

Thanks for the info.
