Re: [libreoffice-l10n] [BUG] Fomula SYD description

But what about providing some clues in the help 
for those who know what they want but are 
unacquainted with the developing system in the 
first place? Your approach leaves too high entry 
threshold.

Continuing with the Calc functions, I might know 
what statistical distributions are but to find 
the concrete function I'd still turn to the 
search function, to which I'll feed a set of 
plain English words which I would expect to be 
in description.
