With respect, I have to disagree with some recent comments on this list.
Tools like Git and slack channels have an important role in managing

what's most central to good documentation.
Like all written, and even spoken, langua

Campos
Costero on updating and improving AOO documentation.
I've got a pretty extensive background in coding, and in tech writing. If
there;s anything I can do to help you, let me know; I'd be happy to do so.
Debra is correct. Merriam-Webster cites 'movable' as the preferred

Keith, have you considered looking for a "rogue" (manually inserted) page

Folks, I've finished my proofreading of the Getting Started guide (version
4.1, copyright 2022).
The project is so well done that I have little to suggest in the way of
improving it. But I did find three contexts in which it might be tweaked a
