The old version has been moved to https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Migration_Guide_2006 And I've shifted an editable version to https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide/Migration_Guide<https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide/Migration_Guide/Calc_and_Excel> I've put a link to the old Guide on the bottom of the front page I noted that there is no link to the Migration guide on the Documentation front page, Should I link to both versions on there or just the '06 version. I just have a couple of subpages that didn't move for some reason to sort Recommend anyone wanting to contribute use the discussion page and put a watch on it so you can keep up with what's going on.
