Jared, Tag, you're it. I've put a ZIP file containing the current iteration of the master doc ODM and the chapter ODTs here: http://www.oooauthors.org/english/userguide3/draw3/published-v3.2/DrawGuide3.2.zip/view
I've also uploaded the latest files individually to that folder. Instructions are here: Creating a User Guide using a Master Document http://www.oooauthors.org/english/userguide3/res3/create_book (If you read them before today, please note they have changed slightly. In particular, the requirement for watermarking the book's PDF has been removed, as the watermark is now in the master doc file.) You will have questions, especially regarding fixing obscure errors. I'll try to answer them promptly. The biggest issue in other books has been the randomly occurring incorrect cross-references in the compiled book; these are often difficult to fix so they stay fixed. I usually ask for others to do quick checks of "release candidates" of the chapters and the book (in PDF form) at various stages in the process. This is a good time to ask people to check the chapter PDFs. Have fun! P.S. I will have work for the others who have volunteered to assist at this level; I just have to collect my notes about what needs to be done. --Jean On Thu, 2010-07-15 at 17:41 -0400, Jared wrote: > Hi Jean, > > Barring any unforeseen problems or life-altering circumstances, finishing by > the end of the month shouldn't be a problem.
