Hi,
it appears that a few people here (well, at least the co-lead of the doc
project) think that the OpenOffice.org help that is installed with the
program is not a part of the OpenOffice.org documentation project.
I'm totally puzzled what makes people think this way. The so called
online help that is installed with the program consists of several
thousand files with several hundred thousand words of (we hope) helpful
information for the user. The online help is part of the OOo code and is
built the same time a new OOo program version is built.
Everything in the online help creation and building process is as open
and documented as the remaining program code is. Yes, it is more
difficult to contribute to the online help directly than it is to just
send an email comment, but that is something we (Sun and community
members together) can fix. The authors of online help have always given
links to all the necessary information (see my signature) and constantly
help each and everyone who wants to be part of the documentation project.
I only hope that this proposed dumping of our efforts is a big
misunderstanding on my side.
Uwe
