Hi. I've read through all of the foundation info, and I've looked through some of the archived emails. Some of the archives might be outdated and the suggestions completed. So, where and how do I get started? Thanks. :) De Angela

Hi, Dick. I'm no one important, but my first thought when seeing the Wiki was maybe that you could add a link to the next section at the bottom of each page in addition to the contents on the right so that a user wouldn't have to hunt through the contents? You've done a really good job. I haven'

Re: How to change OOo to AOO quickly and efficiently?

2014-02-13 Thread De Angela Jackson
Hi. I was just reading the thread. I thought using AOO instead of OO was strictly due to Apache not owning the original licensing. So although verbose, it might be necssary. Just a thought. De Angela On Wednesday, February 12, 2014, Andrea Pescetti wrote: > Andrew Douglas Pitonyak wrote: > >>

Hi Bailey, After reading the definitions, only the padding and maximum size is the same for both. From what I can tell, you can specify the size of VARCHAR up to the max size (this allows you to control the amount of space/memory that you allocate). The LONGVARCHAR size is already set--the max s

Hi. Just adding my two cents: I never knew that you guys had a tracking document. So, maybe it doesn't get used because no one knows it's there? I like Rania's idea of a spreadsheet--something up front where it's easily found, and everyone can see what's going on. I had noticed too that there

Throwing in another 2 cents (I'm up to 4!): Why not try to get an objective outside opinion? http://idratherbewriting.com/ <--pretty good blog from a technical writer who wasn't always a technical writer. He might be able to look at the whole situation and maybe give some advice and direction i
