Hi :) It might be worth sending a mail to the Users Mailing List to recruit new people for the specific task.

Also Appendix C hasn't been updated from v3.4; you could do that. Other chapters have already been updated to v4.1, but Peter hasn't been through all of them for look and feel updates.

Therefore, noting necessary updates changes in chapter lists for other books is very helpful. 3) I am still looking for one or more people to help with updating the Base Handbook, which was translated from German to English.

[libreoffice-documentation] Re: Version 4.1 Draw Guide, Chapter 9
Not a problem Martin. Your work has helped me greatly and I am now going through Chap 9, mainly the screenshots need changing. It will be on the ODF Authors website Monday or Tuesday. I have been upgrading the Draw (4.1) and will complete the remaining chapters fairly quickly. Then it will be onto the Calc Guide to bring up to 4.1. The Calc chapters are being upgraded to 4.0 by other volunteers. I shall then upgrade the chapters to 4.1 so that the Calc Guide has the same look and feel throughout the guide. After that I will be moving onto the Impress Guide which is now at 4.0 to upgrade to 4.1 maybe 4.2. Just have to wait and see.

[libreoffice-documentation] Re: Version 4.1 Draw Guide, Chapter 9
Hello Martin We are at cross purposes here. I am updating the Draw Guide to Version 4.1 which means two of us were working on the same chapter. I shall now use your version to complete Chapter 9 and reissue onto the ODF Authors website. This will mean that Chapter 10 & 11 will follow very quickly.
