This has been one of my pet projects for years, but I have never found the time to actually write any of it. You may be interested in this preliminary outline that I put together for a series of tutorials (or a textbook) aimed at university students. It's for OpenOffice.org, but the topics (and most of the instructional information) would be applicable to LibreOffice, probably with very few changes. AFAIK, no one has found time to actually do any of the work to produce this or similar materials. http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Dashboard/Tutorials/Targeted#Topics_to_cover_for_university_students Regards, Jean Jean Hollis Weber On Thu, 2011-03-03 at 09:30 +0800, David Nelson wrote:
Hi, :-) It sounds like what you're wanting to do is undocumented within the short life of the LibreOffice community but *needs* to be nurtured by the LibreOffice community for your needs and for other educational institutions. As one of the documentation team, I'll be pleased to be a specific liaison point to help you deal easily with the project and get the support and cooperation you need, and to repatriate the learning and best practices to the LibreOffice project. May I suggest that you sign up for our documentation mailing list [1] and tell us more about your project and what you'd like to develop with the community?

I've downloaded the documentation for LibreOffice, and it looks very, very good. We're considering not joining the herd, we're considering teaching Writer, Calc, and Base, instead of MS Office, and we'd like to consider using the documentation as a base document. Question: Has anyone written a textbook, using the documentation as a foundation, which would give additional information, practice problems, and the like? Leon Stevens, PhD Assoc.
