IMHO on the wiki, it only makes sense to have a 'staged description' of whatever workflow. That is, have one description that covers the usual case short and sweet and a second page/section with all the gory details. Both should link to each other of course. This is to: - not scare away newcomers with too much detail - allowing people to add details without bitrotting the short description into a long and winding one. see also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle Best, Bjoern _______________________________________________ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: Libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org Change settings: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/
