Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Some progress on the Base Guide, again
Dan, As requested, I have copied GSCH8 (GS with Base) into the Base Guide folder on ODFAuthors. Sorry to have taken so long. I have left it in the Published 4.0 folder for completeness, with a note that it will be replaced with a new file in the next iteration. --Jean On Fri, Nov 8, 2013 at 4:43 PM, Jean Weber wrote: > Dan, > Good to hear from you, and great to hear of both your work on this > book and the fact that Calibre seems to be doing a better job for > ePubs; creating ePubs of more of our chapters and books has been on my > to-do list forever, it seems.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Some progress on the Base Guide, again
Dan, Good to hear from you, and great to hear of both your work on this book and the fact that Calibre seems to be doing a better job for ePubs; creating ePubs of more of our chapters and books has been on my to-do list forever, it seems. Getting good results used to be very daunting and time-consuming. I've been intending to move "Getting Started with Base" and not gotten around to it, so it's good to be nudged. I also need to replace the chapter in the Getting Started book with the replacement chapter you provided some time ago; work on GS for v4.2 will be coming up the priority list all too soon. --Jean On Fri, Nov 8, 2013 at 2:18 AM, Dan Lewis wrote: > I have completed a major rewrite of chapter 2 of the Base Guide, > Planning/Designing your Database.

[libreoffice-documentation] Some progress on the Base Guide, again
I have completed a major rewrite of chapter 2 of the Base Guide, Planning/Designing your Database. This has been uploaded to the ODFAuthors website: http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/base-guide/draft-4.x/planning-designing-your-database/view. Also uploaded there is the ePUB version of it. By the way, the newer Calibre versions seem to convert from odf to ePUB better than earlier ones. The ODF version has also been uploaded to the Published page on the LibreOffice wiki as a 4.1.x draft. The wiki page for tracking a chapter's progress from submission through review, editing, and publishing has been updated. My To Do list: finish chapter 3, Data Input: Tables before the end of the year AND updating the Base Guide Outline with enough detail that someone can use it to write some of these chapters. (approximately up to 6 levels in the outline). I have already done some work on chapter 2 in it. One request: If you agree that "Getting Started with Base" should be the beginning (as I have come to believe), would you please move this chapter from the Getting Started folder to the Base 4.1.x Draft folder? Internet access is still limited and will continue to be so for the next several months. --Dan -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: documentation+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
