Quelle domage! Well we have tried at doc project to make people aware of other projects and what they do. As a matter of fact the very first entry in http://documentation.openoffice.org/project_list.html is dba. Speaking for my own project, we would love to work with techies in turning out some HOW-TOs for general use and leave the special stuff to the projects. Anyone got any ideas on how to accomplish this? -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.
