Hi Rob and Robert.
Thanks for passing on your thoughts.
There seem to be two issues here.
1. With regards to the figures throughout the Base Guide, any that I
replace will be captured in a Windows environment. As often happens,
the book will then contain figures from a mixture of environments
but we can't do much about that in the short term.
2. With regards to the (text) instructions, then I will be working
through the book following those instructions on my Windows
computer. Where the instructions don't work on Windows, then I'll
try and work out why there's a difference. If the answer is obvious
then all well and good; if not, then I'll follow up with a mailing
list question to seek guidance.
Regards,
Steve

Hi Rob,
I have a comment on Chapter 2, Creating a Database:
In the part on PostgreSQL some instructions is written to use
PostgreSQL in Linux/OpenSUSE. As the majority of LibreOffice users
are using Windows, should be there an instruction aimed at Windows
users?
Reason here: I am the author of most content of the original Base
Handbuch (Germany). And I'm using OpenSUSE since 20 years. Couldn't
test anything in Windows.
Throughout the Guide Linux is used... (also in the figures). all
manuals have Windows based figures, why not use windows figured here
as well?
Same reason as above. We had discussions here about screenshots and
decided to create all screenshots in Linux with a special theme. We
won't show the behavior of open source software with screenshots of
closed source software. Could also be a special problems with the
right to use this screenshots in a published book.

Robert
