[libreoffice-documentation] Introducing Base (cut down version)

2012-02-09 Thread Dan Lewis
 I just uploaded it to the Draft folder of Base is someone wants to
take a look at it. This was mostly removing material that will be
discussed in chapters 2,3, 4 and 5.
 I'm going to finish working on Hazel's cut down of the Getting
Started Guide chapter. I may even have that uploaded by this evening.

This does seem a little confusing. Perhaps this will help:
 When I first write Getting Started with Base (part of the Getting
Started Guide) a few years ago, I discussed how to create and modify a
relational database. Then more recently, I wrote Introducing Base
(Chapter 1 of the Base Guide). It uses a flat database as its basis.
 This has bothered me somewhat because the Getting Started with Base
chapter is more advanced than the Introducing Base chapter. Some of the
traffic on the various mailing lists led me to think that these two
chapters should be switched. That is, the old Introducing Base Chapter
should become the new Getting Started with Base chapter; and the old
Getting Started with Base chapter should become the new Introducing Base
chapter.
 With Hazel's great help, we have reduced the size of both chapters.
A little more review, and they will be ready to take their new places.
 Do you understand now?

 The Getting Started with Base has now been uploaded to the Draft
folder of Base. It is now about 1.3 MB compared to the published version
of 1.8 MB.
 Hopefully, Jean will agree to switch the two chapters when she
returns. Meanwhile, I will be working on Chapter 2 of the Base Guide. I
have the Design section yet to go.
