Hi guys,
I'm happy to tell you that I successfully moved the following
two guides to the wiki:
OpenOffice.org Administration Guide
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Administration_Guide
11 pages
OpenOffice.org BASIC Programmers Guide
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/BASIC_Guide
60 wiki pages
The Developer's Guide (890 wiki pages) is in the works and
will hopefully be available very shortly.
Please have a look at the new docs.
I'm impressed with the Admin Guide, though I haven't had time to read it
all closely, and a lot of it is beyond me anyway. :-)
I haven't had a chance to look at the BASIC Guide yet.
Two questions:
1) Is either of these books available in other forms (eg, ODT), or will
they be made available in other forms?
The plan is to implement a conversion from wiki to ODF/PDF but there
isn't implemented anything yet. If anyone wants to help us implement
a conversion, please speak up!
2) The license is PDL. Where is the copyright info kept? I'm thinking of
the sort of thing that's on the copyright pages of the Setup Guide and
the User Guide (and other PDL docs): Initial writer, contributors, etc.
Copyright info is the one in the wiki:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OpenOffice.org_Wiki:Copyrights
Contributing authors are available through the history function of
the wiki engine. If we have that conversion implemented this information
needs to be extracted and included in the printout, or maybe linking
to the wiki is sufficient.
Friends of OpenDocument Inc is interested in publishing printed copies
of these books (through Lulu), unless Sun or someone else is doing so.
Sun will probably publish Sun branded copies of these books for
StarOffice through their publication site docs.sun.com (free download).
If we did this, it would not be under the OOoAuthors account but a
separate account (as we did with J David Eisenberg's _OpenDocument
Essentials_.
Will the profits (if any) be fed back to the OOo community?
