Hi, I just joined the list on Monday so I am not across all the various protocols yet. Like, I don't know whether you have to put your hand up for this sort of thing or just do it.
Nevertheless, I am 2/3 of the way through chapter 3 and I have made some notes/changes to the doc. I could very well be finished my review by the end of the working week. What is the next step? I could just flick off a copy of the document with my changes if that would suit.

How can I help? Hi :) The 3rd chapter is very new but it's only in draft form at the moment and needs people to read through and check the language makes sense. You know what it's like when you put a lot of hours into creating something, sometimes an edit creates a comma in a wrong place or something else fairly trivial that would normally jump out at you but it's difficult to spot because of other distractions and plans. Anyone that can read through for such 'obvious' mistakes would be a huge help right about now. Dan has done a great job as always so we are not expecting anything but the docs team can't push the chapter through final phases and release it until enough people have checked it. The people that normally do this are mostly just away right now or are slightly scared of Base.

Completing it would be nice. Chapter 5 discusses queries.

The later chapters of the Base Handbook discuss the more complex parts of Base. A working knowledge of Base is helpful for them. I'm thinking that the earlier chapters have already received reviews and at least some proofreading. >>>> Below is the link where my chapters can be gotten. >>>> https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications >>>> So, here are a couple of choices that need someone to do some work on. >>>> >>>> --Dan >>>> >>>> >> >> > > >-- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@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/users/ >All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted > > > > -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@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/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@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/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
