Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: MySQL-Connector

Hi :)
Could you copy&paste that to a wiki-page?  Then maybe we could expand it a bit later to cover the 
main platforms so that point&click users like me are less scared of doing it?

How about 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications/Connectors/MySql
or
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Base/Connectors/MySql
Something like that?  Which do you prefer for fitting in with where normal users find guides and 
stuff on the wiki?  I prefer as sub-pages off the Publications page.  
Regards from 
Tom :)
