Thanks for your announcement, we still have some work on it, but with
the help of Clayton now, I'm sure we will have some speed :)

The FAQ is maintained on a daily basis by the French team, so the items
should be up to date, those which are obsolete have been put in remarks.

To give you some history, this FAQ has been began by the French group
over 14 years ago at the StarOffice time...

Yes, it's a wiki, so don't hesitate to put your hands on if you see
something wrong, this is a tool for all of us.

Calc still needs some love, a lot of items are missing, that I'll take
care during the next months. Clayton is currently working on Impress
when he has time. Any help is appreciated, most of the screen shots in
Writer FAQ are still in French for example.

Kind regards
Sophie
