Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: help with database

Hi :)  
Funny you should say that.  Work has been going on to translate the Handbook from German.  
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#LibreOffice_Base_Handbook

The Faq had it's Base section finished ahead of all it's  other sections
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq#Base

The Publications page has the first couple of chapters of the full guide but each chapter is large 
enough to almost be a full guide on it's own.  There is just too much to say about each stage.  

Plus this list has been very helpful to pretty much anyone asking about Base.  All that without 
even looking towards OpenOffice forums where they have sections dedicated to Base.  

Ok, it's still not enough but it's not really all that secret either now.
Regards from 
Tom :)
