I was going to suggest: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Base But it looks like the wiki.services.openoffice.org server is still down and responds with: ==== OpenOffice.org Wiki has a problem Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties. Try waiting a few minutes and reloading. (Can't contact the database server: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (146) (localhost)) ==== Let's hope they don't run it on Base :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
