[libreoffice-users] Inkscape support on LibreOffice mailing-list!

Hi :)
I know all this got a little off-topic in some ways but it was really
helpful to me !  :)

I think it is good to have a mailing list that deals with other office
issues.  We have helped people deal with issues that are really their OS
rather than really being a LibreOffice issue (although that is sometimes
just by sign-posting them to relevant other forums).

It seems like website editing is in the job description of a much wider
range of normal office workers now.  I've seen it in the job description of
marketing jobs and for a straight "Receptionist".  It is still a little
unusual, of course, but editing content is becoming easier for normal
office workers with all the wysiwyg editors and such.  Of course design and
maintenance still needs a fair bit of expertise in IT but content is
hopefully becoming easier.

So, many thanks to Paul!
Regards from
Tom :)
