Hello all,
do we still need the documentation description for:
https://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/build_windows_pre638.html
http://www.openoffice.org/tools/dev_docs/build_windows.html
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide
I read quickly through them and vote for: no, please let us get rid of
them.
I mean, the first link is the first relevant result on my search results on
duck duck go.
And then you click through the history.
My search words are: OpenOffice windopws build
This is quite infortunate, and (still IMHO) one more reason to get rid
of those pages as quickly as possible.
Or, better, have them redirect straight to
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO so
that who clicks on the outdated links is redirected to the more up to
date documentation.
Best regards,
I hate running into old cruft on the wiki also. However..
I think it comes down to keeping thinks for historical purposes.
We keep old sources around so my thinking is that we should somehow
maintain a place for people to find build instructions.
I do think it would help if they were more specific in exactly what
versions they were appropriate for and have links to current pages.
These instructions don't always have to be in the form of a wiki page
since they are historical in nature. PDF maybe?
Kind of like when I recently went looking for information on the mwiki
IDL extension and found the page was deleted 8 years ago.
Best regards,
Carl
