I'll throw in my "lack of document management system" again :-) Manually maintaining a list of documentation in different languages is a very tough job. Maybe it will work for a couple of month, then the maintainer will get sick of it and it will just sit there... > >[...] At the moment, very few of us on the French n-l lists use IZ > >for documentation work, simply because the interface is in English and > >it is clunky, we prefer to use the Docs&Files directories that each > > Do the IZists know about that? IZ is bad for documentation work, since it doesn't offer a way to mark attachments as obsolete. You cannot delete or replace attachments either. It is OK for uploading complete docs, but not working on different revisions. Docs&Files is much better in this regard (you can replace or remove files, you can add a "lock" on the file and other things) - as Alex described. > [...] > I guess docs doesn't need to use all processes that development > engineering uses.

Just visit the "Documents & Files" section: http://documentation.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList then the Help-Box in the left part of the page will show a link "Learn more about document and files" :-) http://www.openoffice.org/scdocs/ProjectDocuments#aboutdocs Or just play with it... > [...] ciao Christian -- NP: Metallica - Fight Fire With Fire --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
