Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Checked Out CH.1 Introducing LO GS Guide

My notes raise a couple of issues about this chapter that would probably be better discussed on this list. One in particular is that I feel that we kind of fudge the information about installation by referring to the help wiki. A number of the comments Jean and I have made about other changes that could/should be made are a knock-on result of things that users might have done at the time of installation. What do others here think about expanding the Installation section of this chapter? Dave I have not yet looked at your further comments on the chapter, but I'll answer this now. I am NOT in favour of explanding the section on installation. Here is why: 1) Most people will have already installed LO before they look at this chapter. 2) The official installation instructions are here, which is linked to from the download page. https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/install-howto/ If this chapter refers to something on the help wiki, the link should be changed to this one. 3) If we're going to have more installation info in the book, it should be in an appendix, not this chapter. But I am not in favour of doing that either; the book is too long already. --Jean -- 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
