It wouldn't make much sense to be a wiki... Think about it. LO writes and office suite, nobody knows how the guts of it is supposed to behave, or how to construct, e.g. a "table of authorities". And the only help on how to accomplish the task is supposedly left to non-developers to suss out by? trial-and-error? LO is a good package, but has struggled a bit with the help mess. When you need word-processor, or spread-sheet help, you need a clear, informative and robust help system for any of the advanced features. The old local installed help wasn't the best in the world, but it was much more informative than what has been moved online. It actually had screenshots detailed descriptions of how to do X, Y and Z. The online contents is more just a rough outline in a lot of areas. The lack of a good local help file, (good ole "F1" for lack of better words), seems like a "let's shoot ourselves in the foot" type moment. It can't be a drive space issue in days of Terabyte drives (or 1/4 Terrabyte SSDs). It's a bit bewildering why there isn't a good local help anymore, it takes just as much work (and manpower), if not more, to maintain online servers and publish online content as it does to simply package the help and ship it out for local install... (and you avoid the "need help now, but don't have inet connection... problem) That's not that bad for desktops, but for laptops, there are a number of times where there simply isn't public inet available. -- David C.
