Hi Robert, So the news is not good (at least in my opinion). Of course you can continue doing the videos but it seems like because you can't speak in 200 languages we can't link it in the help files. Having English only would interfere with locale teams (I'm still unclear how but I'm no expert the

Just curious... what is the demand for the comprehensive manuals actually like? Are a noticeable number selling through Lulu? Do we have any indication how many copies of the ODT and PDF docs are downloaded? Are they something the user base uses and references a lot? Or are people looking more jus
