Again I agree. However, I think that even an announcement of new
works would be a good thing. For example, Sophie's announcement or
the ref cards as a work in progress has raised some interest for
something similar in English. We, at the doc project, also have
works in progress. The important one, a complete rewrite of the VBA
to OOo cross-reference, is not yet ready for its first editorial
review, let alone letting others look. :-( But here you have
Why not? Let other contributors take a peek sufficiently early

something that might be of interest since it will be somewhat
technical and likely an easy target for translation or rewrite. As
to Calc to Base, this will be covered in Chapter 7 of the User
Guide along with all the other stuff one hopefully needs.
Unfortunately, the Guide lives in a issue and started as a sole
project so it is awkward to manage.
I see what you mean. I know that I am stretching it now but
should we have documentation guidelines available for other
projects that
would
help us to leverage existing docs created in other projects?
Yes, I second that.
Me too. I had hoped when we started the Setup Guide project for 2.0
that it would be included in the distribution like the 1.1.x guide.
However ...
I had this hope too. But the reality is that we will not get the
setup guide to the install sets as binary documents because the main
argument is that we should use the same (string based) system as the
help system.
I had tried to show the difference between complex documents and
short help phrases but this has no effect...
I don't know about the discussion there but everything that goes
into the install sets is limited by the requirements of the build
processes. So either we can change the doc processes to match these
or we distribute them via the web and let people know that they're
out there.
How about adding notes on the front pages of the help sections
pointing to the sites where those guides are, or a menu entry
in the help menu?
