By the way, it's not my intention to criticize the work accomplished by Keith and Prabha on the odf authors website. My personal preference is also definitly a printed documentation, but I think that an online doc under ALV2.0 is obligatory, we have no choice, and if we support and help the team of Ricardo, we have a real chance to get it. If we had a dedicated list for the documentation, it would be also more easy to support a printed variant with people who as me are interested by this way. A+ -- gw > >
