Not sure why Mariano is trying to translate the OOoAuthors guide by
himself. We at the Spanish project have already translated most of the
whole Guide in Spanish. The document he is translated currently is already
60% translated.

Dear Jean and developers of OOoBase:
The Base tutorial is about 80% finished. The text has received input
from Drew Jensen (invaluable help, thanks!) and William Marchant, who is
editing it. Stephane, a member from a French OOo list is attempting a
translation to French (and when I'm done with the English version, I
will start a translation to Spanish!). Unfortunately, the 20% remaining
can only be completed with the assistance of a technical person, someone
like Drew who knows Base intimately. At this moment Drew is taking some
time off of the project to attend other matters. Jean, I would be very
appreciative if you can connect me with one of the other Base
programmers you know. I can see that there is a lot of enthusiasm with
the release of version 3 and I am sure that most resources are devoted
to this endeavor. However, one can only notice that the folders at
OOoAuthors for a Base Guide are empty for both, versions 2 and 3(*). I
believe that this tutorial can come in on time to fill a very important
gap. Given that this project is so close to completion, I really urge a
programmer to take interest in it and give William, Stephane and me the
help we need to finish the tutorial as soon as possible.
I have posted requesting help not only in this list but also in the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] list, but with no success. I am now appealing to
your influence.
Thanks in advance,
Mariano.
(*) On the other side, documentation.openoffice.org has only two entries
for Base: The manual by Manuel Naudin translated to English from French,
and an early an incomplete first draft of the Tutorial. You can find
them here:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=597&expandFolder=597&folderID=597.
Jean, I also have in my hard disk a copy of the manual in which you
participated but I am now unsure about where to find it.
