GNU Linux install guide - 6 pages....
Hi. I realize I did prematurely create a simple installation guide for GNU Linux users without realizing the licensure. This could be fixed. However, I received an email off this list from Keith stating the guide was not peer reviewed. I wonder, were these guides? http://openoffice-uni.org/ this was also posted online. One recommendation - please make the onboarding simple and straightforward for those volunteering in this effort for documentation. I was just trying to be a positive force and influence for this project, but really and am disappointed by the docs team - well, particularly and the continued push to use the old docs, mix method of documentation and as I heard during fosdem = the idea... this project cannot move forward as a current offering - like a corporation I do encourage the docs team to move forward with current useful documentation for the project, working with developers in an effort to drive innovation. I hope you can move forward with these attitudes in a positive manner. Keith, all future communication should be made here. Thank you. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Mathias, I was trying on the pi ARM. Then, I moved Debian - x86 and had a similar error. I figured I'd try on desktop first, right - then port. But had similar errors. I am following the build guide.
