Re: [libreoffice-documentation] MacOS info for all books
Steve, Thank you! I don’t remember why I used the link I did. I agree your suggestion is much better, and I’ll change it in the v7.3 drafts.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: Base BG7302 - Chapter 2 - First Review
I reported Bug 144588 Base ODBC connection for Sqlite Inadequately Documented (https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144588) and the first response was to consider contributing to the documentation. I documented it in the bug, provided a wiki entry, and draft content for the V7.3 guide. The process is very simple but I don't think the documentation would get a user through it. I hope it will at least get considered. It has been pointed out SQLite is only one example of an ODBC connection. Fair enough the draft might need changing. Try following the documentation to use it. Anyone. A bigger issue is trying to follow a changed process that has evolved over a decade using a primitive mailling list without current documentation.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Base v7.3: Chapter 1 - BG7301
Hello everybody, I have updated Chapter 1 to address the additional comments raised and, assuming that it has had sufficient reviewing now, have placed the updated file in the Published folder. Regards, Steve On 22/01/2022 12:15, Steve Fanning wrote: Hello everybody. Many thanks to Dev, Robert, and Flywire for providing helpful comments on draft Chapter 1 of the 7.3 Base Guide. I have considered all comments and produced an updated version of the document, which can be found in NextCloud. Changes to address all agreed comments have been made with track changes on. Please note however that the images for Figures 19, 53, 57, 81, 85 have been replaced but these modifications don’t appear to be recognized as tracked changes. It would be very helpful if Dev, Robert, and Flywire could check this updated version to see if they are happy with the changes. Can I suggest that we discuss any residual issues in this email list rather than editing the document further? I can then update it again if required. My current thoughts are that this chapter has now had a good review by multiple people, and it probably isn’t worth a formal 2nd review cycle. Does anybody disagree?

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Base v7.3: Chapter 1 - BG7301
Thanks for the comments. I have (hopefully) clarified the text for your first suggestion. I haven't made a change for this second point. The three database systems currently in the brief list on this page are those for which we have a direct connection route (as described in Chapter 2). As I understand it Base does not offer a direct connection to SQLite but connections are via ODBC - this is covered by the paragraph after the bullet points mentioned.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] MacOS info for all books
Hi Jean, I have updated Chapter 1 of the Base Guide accordingly. However, I have a built-in dislike of web addresses like this that include the version number of the software to be downloaded. What happens when versions 18, 19, 20, ... come along. Will we have to update the text of the guides each time? Can I offer the following alternative text, which seems to side-step this potential irritation? * "For macOS, you need to install Oracle’s Java Development Kit (JDK), not just the JRE. Download links can be found by selecting the macOS option at: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/."; I've used this revised text in the Base Guide but can change again if anybody has other ideas.

Hello Steve I'm taking Appendix B for review.
