Recently I talked about updating the English version of the Base Handbook to v4.2 from v3.5-4.0 (the English version of these two differs only in the title; we didn't update the contents from the German version). The current version of the german Base handbook has just been updated to 4.3. ;-

It's really unfortunate that the rest of the team has taken so long to get around to start bringing the English version up to date, after Hazel did the translating of new material for 4.2. I'm not sure what is the best way to proceed at this point, and it's not up to me to tell others what to do.

Hi :) That is looking really good! Well over half the guide is already up on the wiki https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#LibreOffice_Impress_Guide So the Impress Guide only has 3 or maybe even just 2 chapters. It's 'just' proof-reading and finalising those chapters

Hi :) This team consistently does far more work than most other Documentation Teams i've seen in almost any other project. MS Office only manages 1 set in 3-4 years. Looking down the list of Published Guides we can see that all guides (apart from 2) have had at least 1 completed version in the

Hello Tom Disagree with you about the Draw Guide. There will be a guide for Version 4.3 because of one major addition to LO - the Sidebar. This does change the way you operate Draw. Will be tackling the Draw Guide after I have completed the last two chapters of the Impress Guide. Regards PeterS

Having a policy is all very well, but really it's up to the people who do the work. For example, if no one will do the Calc Guide, it doesn't get done. No policy will change that. This is why some guides were updated to 4.0, but others not until 4.1: no one available to do them. For now, Writer

Hi :) If/when new people join the group how do they know what to start on? What do we tell them? If we could say that a specific guide is next in line to be updated then they could just start on that straight-away, or they could then say that they would prefer to work on something else. At the

Hello all, I started integrating Hazel's translations of the German Base 4.2 Handbook into the English 3.5 about a week ago. Chapter 2 is just about ready to go; realistically, about a chapter a week is the rate at which I can work on this(but see below.) I think it'd be worthwhile for me to
