[libreoffice-documentation] LibO Alfresco Bootcamp doc

I've started a new thread for this, in response to Alex Thurgood's comments on Base docs. My opinion FWIW is that Base related stuff is desperately needed, including a full Base Guide. We've been rebranding the OOo user guides as an initial set for LibreOffice, but the Base Guide has never been wr

I'm confused about where to put things on the Alfresco site.
