Hi, I seem to have a couple of days free at the moment and would be interested in looking at the Base intro. I know almost nothing about databases. I did read SQL for Dummies a while a go but that's about it.
I have not done anything on OOo Authors for at least 2-3 years and I am hopelessly out-of-date on how the site works. I did find that I can still sign in :) How would I go about coordinating with Kathy and Dan. Or for that matter, once I've read the current draft of Chapter I Intro would it make sense to spend time on chapters 2 or 3?
