    Wish list for user documentation

    Note pin.svg

    Note:
    Currently some old drafts are hosted on this page. These need to be moved somewhere more appropriate, such as a new wiki page, or ODFAuthors.

    User guides, tutorials, etc.

    Guides and tutorials on topics aimed at intermediate and advanced users:

    Documents aimed at specific audiences, e.g. technical writers, small business, university students:

    Update old OpenOffice.org user guides for the current version of LibreOffice:

    Other ideas:

    • Make user guides available in other formats
      • wiki format -- in progress
      • ePub format -- see EPUB

    Wiki

    • Finish the English version of the FAQs
    • Re-organize the Documentation wiki-pages structure

    For Doc Team

    • A library of material to be used in more than one document. For example, some info on setup, customization, printing, and PDF export is used in guides for several components.

    Miscellaneous

    • Training materials (may be done through another group in LibreOffice community?)

    Wish List for Developer Documentation

    Note pin.svg

    Note:
    This section needs to be updated.

    • Packaging (.deb, .rpm, .dmg, .pisi,...)
    • UNO/LibreOffice Object Model (objects, methods, properties) would help macro and LibreOffice developers alike.
      • A few diagrams of the object model hierarchy would help newcomers get started faster.  
    • Documentation on using Javascript for Extensions and Macros
    • Documentation on debugging macros/Extensions in Java, Python, Javascript. There is some info on the "how to debug" page existing (scroll to the end), but is is sparse and lacks images/examples to clarify.
    • Developer level workflow including git, running soffice with the debugger and when to build all/modules.  Developer FAQs for different phases of development.  (These probably belong in Development section).
