I would want to go further pushing the slidecast with a narrator showing the features and not just a text list that is very unimaginative for the random user. So can we get some screenshots of this list and put it on an impress presentation? If the lay out of the Wiki is better, maybe it is also possible to mark those really-important-for-all-users issues? My point, the wiki is not design for graphic multimedia oriented content as opposed to the Drawing tools, object management of Impress. Hints for features that need extra highlight, or about text/explanation that can be improved, very much appreciated! We do need a good voice to give the tour of the features. I might do a demo and then the audio can be 'ported' to a softer voice.

I spoke about AutoSum in the other mail.

I've not gone through the all list yet, but will do and will give you feedback. Also, I think we should begin to work on the list much sooner because trainers and authors need it for their material.

[Marketing] Info new release 2.3
Hi *, Since OOo 2.3 is expected next week, it is time to prepare the news about new features. Technical = = = = = With help from some people at the Netherlands-mailinglist, I've prepared info for the wiki: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/New_Features_2.3#Full_list (We made the Dutch and English version side by side and I used some nice OOoBasic to split.) Well, that looks rather 'not so nice', IMHO. But since I'm not yet Wiki-adict (that is about what's needed to be able to work with it, IMO :-) ) *I'll be happy to receive advice from others*. Also, the odt, that I used, is available. I uses ODT2WIKI export filter, with some little changes afterwards. Furthermore, I'll add info on another Wiki page about steps involved to gather all this.
