Hi Rick,
Personally I agree with you on the HSQLDB front, but not everyone is
of the same opinion.
Seems to me the main job is to entice people over to the idea of
using databases, because a too-large number don't. For those people
making it easy is the key thing, and there the inbuilt HSQLDB
nds to a reasonable minimum. The work Dan has done seems to have
kick-started greater interest in work on Base generally. A completed Guide
might draw more new people in.
Regards from
Tom :)

My opinion:
There is no reason (other than lack of people to do the work) why we
can't have two guides to Base, taking different approaches and aimed
at different audiences. (I have thought the same about some of the
other components as well.)

Hi all,
I know that I am the "new" guy here, but I have been thinking about a Base

Chapters 3 and 4 are only in draft form for OOo. They need some
modifications before being listed on the wiki.
All of these chapters for OOo are on ODFAuthors in the Base Guide
folders. Time to change their visibility status and their folders'
visibility status.

Perhaps they could have brackets under their name like

or something like that if they are adamant about restricting themselves to just
