Well, duh.. (I really was that dumb)... moving this to that mailing list then
So assuming this worked and now this message is on the documentation list. Alright, let me back up I suppose. The reason I got started a couple weeks back on the old user guide format documents was for something top include on a disk project. I figured the install guide, if created only for Windows, would be a sinch and the Introducing AOO Chapter from the 3.4 User Gide might be - not to hard -, and since the disk image was, as it ended up, db tiled it seemed maybe a rebrand on the Getting Started with Base might be as easy as any, given the less prevelant use of sidebars.. So - I wanted to get something fast. It's now been a couple of weeks, I had to stop for a week, but this few days got some of what I was thinking about together. For the Install guide, it includes some sections from the old Admin guide. It's not a final cut, yet, but it is I think close. I'm really hoping folks will be good enough to give a read and offer -any and all- editing suggestions. Installation Guide 4.odt<https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bx7ZNEXlmR0IYmtXbWNldnctV0k/edit?usp=drive_web> Installation Guide 4.pdf<https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bx7ZNEXlmR0IX0J6cXhjNjBCNGM/edit?usp=drive_web> For the second document, Introduction to Apache OpenOffice 4 it's pretty much just the old Guide Chapter with a few lines about and screen shots of side bars. Also, not done, but very close for my short term purpose I think, Introducing AOO 4.odt<https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bx7ZNEXlmR0INEplZWlMV1dLNWc/edit?usp=drive_web> Introducing AOO 4.pdf<https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bx7ZNEXlmR0IcUwwRlVKU1NfVlU/edit?usp=drive_web> That leaves a Base guide... ah, this is less done..and got more stuff merged from the old Basic Guide and other sources, with more still being added I think, The snapshot of this one is.. Alright, well if you scroll to the bottom of this email you will see it originated on the dev (wrong) ML and was about a template, said doc being used for the three files above and found here AOO4.ott<https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bx7ZNEXlmR0IOG1QWmxQTlVPVXc/edit?usp=drive_web> GettingStartedWithBase.odt<https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bx7ZNEXlmR0INWVEZnVGRUpBQjQ/edit?usp=drive_web> GettingStartedWithBase.pdf<https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bx7ZNEXlmR0IemdjSWVoRDZUb1k/edit?usp=drive_web> So, I'm looking over the work on the wiki today (migration guide, and such) - which I had not done much of recently - I don't suppose there is any chance that the export to pdf function on the wiki is going to start working (or is it just me, being dense again ;).. Anyway - I would like to offer all of what I'm working on to the group and not sure where to go from here, other then to get back to working on these documents tomorrow.
