I can understand why is more flexible but not the simplistic/complex
thing. I think that saying that something is a "simplistic tool" is a
good way to confuse people, especially those who has a little or zero
experience with databases.
I think is better to say something like "This is the LibreO

Hi :)
All good :) It is great to see this level of discussion about Base at last.
It would be really great if there was a mailing list just for Base imo but
there isn't.

Tom :)

I agree with what Dan said earlier in this thread,
".. the Base Guide
should describe what can be done with Base. As such, mentioning other
programs other than to provide instructions as to how to access
databases made by them serves no purpose at all. But I see no purpose to
include negative comme
hings between ourselves
because there seemed to be a little confusion somewhere.

None of my "content" comments are version specific at all. They're
more to do with the concepts that Dan's putting forward.
Disagreement, discussion and resolution (preferably in that order,
though perhaps with a couple more loops) very welcome.

I don't think that is ever the case :
1) If they want to store & manipulate data
2) if we ignore/allow for the broken bits of the program

Because Base can use a wide range of database programs to hold and
"dispense" the data is uses, the guide doesn't have to be "about" any
of them.

Mostly content, since Hazel's proof reading is great.
Since a lot of it is about the content, there are many "notes" rather than
changes of
text.
