Hi,
i would not move it, the content of this chapter was and still is for
developers. Well it address many things that are relevant for Basic
users (which of course are developers as well) but it is of general use
for other developers as well. Especially the dialog editor that is not
limited to Basic.
Anyway i would suggest that we think about splitting the guide in
smaller guides. These guides would be part of a series of guides or
books. That is an idea that we have for a longer time now but that we
couldn't realize until today.
The Basic Guide of course addresses a little different user group and i
think we should focus on that. We can include parts of the available
info here as well but should maybe rephrase it to address the typical
Basic user.

Greetings,
The "Developer's Guide" contains a section called OpenOffice.org Basic.
That section, in turn, contains two other sections (their subsections are
also shown):
* First Steps with OpenOffice.org Basic
- Creating a Module in a Standard Library
- Writing and Debugging a Basic UNO program
- Calling a Sub from the User Interface
- Creating Dialogs
- Adding Event Handlers
- AutoPilot Dialogs
* OpenOffice.org Basic IDE
- Managing Basic and Dialog Libraries
-- OpenOffice.org Basic Macros Dialog
-- Displayed Information
-- Buttons
- OpenOffice.org Basic Macro Organizer Dialog
-- Modules
-- Dialogs
-- Libraries
- Basic IDE Window
-- Basic Source Editor and Debugger
-- Dialog Editor
- Assigning Macros to GUI Events
- Dialog Localization
-- Technical Background
This material seems more appropriate to be in the "Basic Programmer's
Guide". It is readily understood by Basic programmers. It really seems
inappropriate for the "Developer's Guide", since it gives detailed
directions on how to use menus and dialog boxes, rather than how to design
software.
What would people think of moving these sections from the "Developer's
Guide" to the "Basic Programmer's Guide"? It would take some work to get
the new material to flow with the old, to take care of the changed links,
and to reword the "Developer's Guide" so it doesn't look like there is a
hole in the discussion.
Having all the fundamental information on using OOo Basic in one place will
make it easier for developers to get started. Eventually, some of the other
material on Basic should probably be transferred as well, but we have to
start somewhere.
