Sounds great Robert! I'm still trying to figure out how we can link in the help files as I really do think that will be the most beneficial for our user base. I'm going to reach out to a couple developers and so long as we can find something that:
1) Doesn't impact local teams workflow; 2) Allows for easy translation for any other contributors I think we can move forward but it will require some backend work. Let me poke around but if you create a channel and start creating videos that coincide with help files that will be fantastic. Thanks again for your great work :) Best, Joel On 12/09/2015 05:07 PM, Robert Alexander wrote: > Hi everyone, > thank you all for putting so much consideration into this discussion. > > I am quite happy to independently create tutorial videos for > LibreOffice if it turns out that this is the best route for the > project as a whole.
