Also, I prefer to send a preview to a few people on the documentation team before I post anything. I want errors to be caught before they are posted. My I distinction is a blog is for relatively "easy" topics rather than complex topics. The difference is the complex topic may involve either an apparent work around or real work around to a problem or the discussion of a complex topic. Your examples above may be better in a wiki because they touch on rounding by computers and operation order of precedence, both could be confusing for non-mathematician, scientist, or engineer. Both could easily get messy for many users. I think my distinction is more about the length of the post and amount of detail in the content. -- Jay Lozier jsloz...@gmail.com -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@global.libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
