I downloaded source code from svn recently(by svn co

.
But there is problem. After configure, I want to run"./bootstrap". But I
can not find bootstrap.
Something to consider: For every new developer that tries to build
and fails, because the build guide is outdated, there are probably
several others who try it, fail, and then just walk away and are never
heard of again. A bad initial experience for developers is harmful to
the growth of the project.

Does anyone have any thoughts on why the Build Guide is not updated?
That I can describe exactly: Bjoern Michaelsen isn't around to push it.
Do the right people not have write access to that page?
Anyone with a wiki account can edit the page. Anyone can sign up for a
wiki account. Anyone who needs some hand-holding is welcome to ask (here
on this list, by private email, or on my User:TJFrazier talk page); I
consider that part of a sysop's duties.
Some hand-holding please. I can log in and edit most of the pages
referenced on
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide.
Only the Building_on_Linux is not editable. It also uses a different
page banner. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Would it be
better to put this info where all committers have the ability to
update, like here:
http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/source.html
Probably not. My thinking is that the more volatile the information, the
more it belongs on a wiki, rather than a web page. Wiki pages are much
faster and easier to update, which means they should be more likely to
/be/ updated when they need it.

Does anybody know how to continue?
Thanks a lot.
