As the person who usually uploads new and changed user guide chapters and
books to the wiki, I am happy to email Tim and Drew at the time. I don't
know a way to automate this.
I agree about putting a date by the files on the wiki. In fact, I was
thinking about this just yesterday. I've been doing that for the OOo files
for years. I'll fix up the page within the next few days, if I don't forget.

Hi
The North American community produce a LibreOffice Dvd which includes
documentation but they are having trouble keeping up.
Could we automate it so that when something gets uploaded to the wiki we
either
1. notify Tim & Drew perhaps by email
or
2. upload the doc to their website (mirror??)
or
3. show the date that each document was last uploaded to the wiki?
Those are the 3 options i could think of. There might be a better way of
doing
this. Drew is desperately busy organising an event this weekend & Tim's
answers
tend to be even more verbose than mine!
Regards from
Tom

Well, the CMS server should have that option to create a DVD with the
documents on it.

Are you stating that once the document comes out - like one of the
Writer's
guides, they will update it from time to time? I am not on the
documentation lists, but I do want to make sure all my copies are the
most
up-to-date. Should I just download them every few months, of is there
a way
I can be notified when the updates are available?
Hi
Would it be easier in the future to just link to the existing
pages
and perhaps mirror the documentation?
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/
The documentation is likely to get updated quite a bit and added
to.
Having them separately stored on separate sites means
fragmentation is
going to be a big problem later.

I just found that LibreOffice Math Guide is out.
Now the only issue I have is that OOo used "0800" for the
preface
number, but LibreOffice uses "0700".
So maybe we can add the Math Guide to the NA documentation
list.
This guide is 26 pages.
Already on it - I moved all of the Calc guide to the site
today and
pulled the Math guide down also, just haven't updated the html
page
yet.
