Proposal for significantly enlarging LibreOffice's user base with Screenwright(R) [...]

Have you installed the template on the latest LibO version?

No. I think we're all hoping LO will be compatible with OOo. If it's not, I will make adjustments 
when the final production version is released.

some users were asking for a short primer on how to use the template. Is there one available?

Yes, it's inside the template itself. Screenwriting is not rocket science, but out of 100K 
downloads, a dummy or two will always show up. ;-)

I also notice your facebook site (http://www.facebook.com/screenw) has an "Instructions for 
dummies?" but there is really no instructions there.

It was a question posted by one of them. ;-) I answered her question, and she's fine. But thanks 
for pointing out that discussion thread. Another one showed up, so I just answered his question.

Also, could you test the upload of your template into our Drupal repository?

No. It would be a duplicate effort, at this point. And OOo has already forced me to duplicate these 
formatters, from the Extensions site to their relatively-new Templates site. Idiotic web 
architecture.

Thanks for your kind comments, BTW!

Are you the organizer in charge of LO Marketing? I'd like to have a private discussion with whoever 
is running the show, someone with a LO or DF email address. My email address is at the top of this 
page:

My thought is that creators should create, and organizers should organize, and that we should talk 
to each other directly. Former Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz told me a while back that he was 
interested in Screenwright(R), but then he became distracted. I think that was when Ellison started 
breathing down his neck. ;-)

I personally do not feel that adding another extension to the, already bloated download, is going 
to help anyone.

Bloated? Heh. Someone should have thought of that, about 70 Megs ago. ;-) If a user has low 
bandwidth, and is spending seven or eight hours downloading a 137Meg program, an extra 30 seconds 
or so to download another 17K is not going to make any difference at all. I used to have dialup, 
and developed some simple download instructions based on that lengthy process. In fact, those 
instructions:

http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/scr2#n

are still more user-friendly than OOo's (mine tell where/how to use the MD5 checksum). I'll donate 
them to LibreOffice, too.

And thanks for your kind comments!

LO screenplay should really be either a separate extension

It is.

or a completely new project

Go for it. ;-)

it is a great idea.

Thanks!
