Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Installation instructions?

[Jean Hollis Weber <jeanweber@gmail.com>]

The fastest way to produce some installation instructions is to adapt
the OOo Install Guide, but that's unlikely to get done in time for the
completion of your student project. Perhaps you could put in a
placeholder URL & filename that can be updated later if it changes?

I could fling a rough draft onto the wiki today, if that would help. It
would be a VERY rough draft, needing new screenshots and probably some
other updates and corrections, and therefore not really suitable for
telling ordinary users about, but it would be a placeholder.
