[libreoffice-documentation] Maths revamp? Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: LibreOffice Documentation in Local Libraries Project
Hi :) I thought i remembered someone saying they had found a Math Guide written in German that had quite a few separate chapters and that some of that was going to be moved into the English guide? I could easily be wrong but i just wondered if i had got it right?

I'm not sure if that would affect an application for an ISBN number. Where do you get the idea that the Maths Guide is about to have a major re-vamp? Have I missed something at Docs? For an ISBN, all I have to do is add one to the book. Note, however, that at this point only the printed version of the books have ISBN; the PDFs do not (because we don't sell them). PDFs and printed books and eBooks each require a separate ISBN. Friends of OpenDocument buys ISBN in sets of 100, so I have plenty to use. As for abusing the wholesale offer i think that is not really a worry. The aim is to get the guides out there as far and widely as possibly. If someone is smart enough and keen enough (about LO) then they hopefully will make good use of the guides anyway, either to make sure they get seen or to help people migrate to LibreOffice. The aim is less about generating profit and more about getting the guides out there. I agree. I am not concerned about this. Hopefully people wont try to abuse the system too much. Even at full price the guides really don't cost much especially when compared to similar guides for rival products. Also i am sure the Friends of OpenDocument are sensible enough to manage the requests sensibly. Sending full sets of guides out to all 51 libraries might or might not present a bit of a challenge to them but i'm sure they could figure out a way of doing something sensible. There is a bit of work for me involved in buying the books, but including all copies is trivially more work than just ordering one. It still makes sense to send directly to where they are required to save the effort of re-distributing. See my earlier note in response to Marc. I am not so sure sending directly to the library is the better idea... unless the request comes directly from the library.

This to me would make sense, as it would remove any temptation for any abuse of purchase.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Maths revamp? Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: LibreOffice Documentation in Local Libraries Project
A proposed variation of the Math Guide (and GS with Math chapter) based on the French docs are on the wiki and will be considered for v 4.0. I've mentioned it to John Smith, who is working on the GS with Math chapter. Some changes from the German version were included awhile ago (v 3.5, I think). --Jean On Sun, Feb 10, 2013 at 11:58 AM, Tom Davies tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: Hi :) I thought i remembered someone saying they had found a Math Guide written in German that had quite a few separate chapters and that some of that was going to be moved into the English guide?
