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!

Go for it. ;-)
