Sorry, Hal, I don't agree with you. I only invited Larry in the
friendliest way to get involved in remedying shortcomings with regard
to Mac info in LibreOffice documentation.

Hi Larry, :-)
Unfortunately, we just don't have enough active team members, at the
moment, to develop platform-specific documentation.
Right now, documentation is being sourced from oooauthors.org and
adapted to the LibreOffice team's needs for LibreOffice. So, if that

Hi, :-)
It would be interesting to see how Sophie's offered content could be
incorporated into the Alfresco site, to make it a reference resource
available to docs workers. Would you have time for and feel like
investigating that, by any chance, Barbara?

Hi Jeremy, :-)
Thanks for your work on this. I've been taking a look. I checked out
two documents (Introducing Writer), made minor edits to them, and then
checked-in (and so uploaded) new versions of them.
One of them had been in the drafts "folder". I approved the checked-in
version and it moved

completely reverse my previous comment about this (fwiw) and now agree with

Many apologies for my previous post Larry!

Is there a generic term that covers taskbar, dock, panel? Many users will see
all these things as being very much alike. Geeks know that they are completely
