Howdy, Alright - well here is where I'm at this moment. I have the 3.3.0-2 LbreOfficeBox imsage, with additions, with all of the html files from Tim's work, as on the website above, working on my local copy. I have these files and all of the box original files under local version control. There are a number of errors on the pages on the above website, mostly from the automatic translation error - I've been running find/replace scritps to clean that up - looks good so far. So - I have a new set of files, as actual source files, which I can send back to Tim. The couple of changes from tdf logo to community logo will be done today, and will go back to Tim with the html files. @Tim - if you haven't made changes to your copy at this point, would you hold off for most of today and I'll get these updates to you this evening, a simple copy to the web server and I think at that point you and I would have the images in sync. //drew -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/us/marketing/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
