Steve Fanning would like to discuss two topics:
1. Indexing in the Calc Guide. I am concerned that for the
chapters that I have updated, I neglected indexing. What should I have
done, and can I still do it before we issue the latest draft!
+ Use concordance if necessary (Olivier)

https://help.libreoffice.org/6.5/en-US/text/swriter/guide/indices_index.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=UNIX
+ Not a change in contents, please proceed
AI: Steve to add indexing.
2. Calc Functions. What does the team think is the best way
forward with regards to recording more detailed information about the
500+ Calc functions?
A Functions Handbook? A wiki page? Any other suggestions?
Having done a lot of work on Chapter 18 (Description of Functions),
I have some relevant information in my head about these functions and it
might be a good idea to capture this somewhere and soon.
+ 80 pages chapter
+ Covering the functions is better in a separate book (Dave)
+ Not eliminate chpt 18 (Steve)
+ wiki is good (Steve)
+ Wiki can get more contributors (Steve, after Regina H.)
+ Chpt 18 lnk to wiki pages (Dave)
Proposal Generate wiki pages for for Calc Function description and use
cases (aka: Handbook)
+ Approved by consensus.
+ Steve as 1st volunteer to open the pages.
AI: Steve to open initial pages.
3. When the book is finished? (Steve)
+ Chapt 15 - Calc online -> Drop
+ Chapt 16 - Calc threading -> Drop
+ Chapt 13 - Calc as database -> Zach.
+ Then the book is ready for assembling.
4. Base Handbook (Dan)
