Priority: medium
Bug ID: 75139
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: wiki is still not editable
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: unspecified
Component: Documentation
Product: LibreOffice
Hi there
I feel that it's critical that a end-user-editable wiki be exposed for users of
LibreOffice so that USEFUL documentation can be crowd-sourced. For four year
now, it's been the plan to migrate to user-editable wiki code (which we already
had with OpenOffice) but this appears not to have moved forward at all
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Wikihelp
My pet gripe is the documentation of the math/formula features. I can never
remember what codes are needed in entering formulae, and the current
LibreOffice wiki gives useless documentation spread across multiple pages with
cryptic page titles. How do I find, for example, how to type an 'infinity'
symbol? It requires painful iterative searching, which could be done visually
with the old OpenOffice documentation page.
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Writer_Guide/Math_commands_-_Reference
vs
https://help.libreoffice.org/Math/Formula_Reference_Tables
We need a ODF-supported place where users can contribute their tips,
techniques, shortcuts and workarounds, and evolve the documentation either
faster than, or at least as an augmentation of, whatever the ODF is able to
formally coordinate.
Please could those with responsibility for the current wiki system consider
prioritising this, as a small effort on the part of you guys would
enable/facilitate a HUGE effort on the part of the user community.
Cheers
JP
