Greetings All; With the documentation list active for over a year now I believe it is time to re-evaluate where we are with the documentation effort and if it is worth continuing.
My personal perspective is that very little progress has been made nor do I see the likelihood of that changing in the near future. It has become very frustrating answering inquiries with detailed e-mails about what the needs are and where current information is being worked and then never hearing from many people again. We seem not to have been able to attract skilled technical writers who can give of there time to drive the infrastructure needed and to mentor volunteers who want to help but have not done this type of writing before. I would pose a number of questions that should be considered and answered. 1: Is there a need for user documentation? 2: Is this the place for that documentation to come from? I firmly believe that there is a need for high quality user oriented documentation for OpenOffice. I am just not sure of the best way to go about filling that need. I hope that this effort can generate a renewed interest in how to go about giving the users of this wonderful software documentation of the same quality and professionalism as the code base itself. Regards Keith
