Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Writer 4.2 Guide now compiled and published
Hi :) I am sure it is plenty good enough! The might be minor problems but i don't think it's worth trying to catch them now. Apparently a VERY early pre-pre-release version of branch 4.4.0 is possible to acquire from somewhere super-secret now. If any more work on the Writer Guide takes place it'd be fantastic if it's towards an initial draft for the 4.4.x branch. There is a lot else to do at the moment. The Base Handbook is well under-way now. Gary (new) is keen to do early chapters but is still trying to figure out how to download chapters from ODFAuthors. Alan Cook (new(ish)?) was keen for someone to review Chapter 8. Most chapters are available for review or proof-reading. I know you did a LOT of work on that early on so it'd be great to have your input on a fairly final polishing. Peter S is working on Draw and Math, i think focussing on the Math Guide at the moment. Does that have new Chapters for this release? If so should i add them to the wiki? I'm sure there is other stuff too but i just wanted to show where people seem to be currently focussing on, or need help with. The Writer Guide is perfect enough and is undoubtedly truly excellent as it is.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] introduction
Hi :) I think you need the 4.2.6 version, here's a link to it http://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/?type=win-x86version=4.2.6lang=en-US It might be a good idea to save this wiki-page too https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel It helps to have the 4.2.6 alongside whichever version you normally use I think i have updated the Status Wiki correctly but please let me know. It's easy to sign chapters in again after the weekend if you didn't get time to have a look through them.

[libreoffice-documentation] Base Handbook Chapter 5 Queries.
While working through the documentation I appear to have found a problem. The following query works: SELECT ID, Title, Pub_Year FROM Media It returns 8 rows. The following query fails SELECT ID, Title, Pub_Year FROM Media LIMIT 5 The error complains about 5 being an unexpected token. I created the query in both design and sql view and get the same result. I repeated with several tables and got the same result and problem. I found that if I used sort on a field then no matter where I created the query (design or sql mode it worked) The documentation implies that this is a problem from earlier versions of the data base, prior to 4.1. and also the limit could only be set in direct SQL mode. I can set the limit in both modes but as stated an order field condition is rquired.My version is the one from the ubuntu repository and claims to be version libreoffice-base 1:4.2.6.3-0ubuntu1. I presume this means it is 4.2.6.3 and therefore should not have the LIMIT limitation. If I need to load a later version of the data base where do I get it from? If this problem is a bug where do I report it?
