On Version 5.3 a new entry in the Help menu will bring user to this documentation site: http://documentation.libreoffice.org which has more books available and download is immediate. If you click Help -> User Guides, the following link will open: https://documentation.libreoffice.org/en/english-documentation/ Maybe we can close this bug report as NOTABUG. I'm sorry, but how do you get from here: LibreOffice.org to here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications ? This is an important page to get to! Maybe we could add a link in this page: https://documentation.libreoffice.org/en/english-documentation/ That redirects to the Wiki page: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications The link could be called "View All Published Documentation". @Ilmari what do you think of this idea? How could we go about doing this?

How could we go about doing this? I don't know, have to ask Olivier The purpose of https://documentation.libreoffice.org/en/english-documentation/ is to offer end-users a quick way (1-click) to get the publication. Old habits dies hard (ease of use...), community members are used to wiki for storing finished files. Not even Nextcloud is appreciated for the final doc's storage/publication. I have no preference. I'm all ears. But there are 2 different demands to be addressed in revamping web pages: - Quick access for doc consumer (click-and-go), easy navigation. - Flexible/+complex access for doc creators (upload/download/edit/publish/etc...). IMO: 1. The content on the http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/ (which redirects to https://documentation.libreoffice.org/en/english-documentation/ for me) needs a huge cleanup. It should only contain a handful of items; the repeated "Calc Guide" for a dozen of versions is not OK. There should be exactly one entry for Calc guide there, one entry for Writer Guide, etc. - maybe with a selector of version, or only for the latest version... 2. The link to the wiki, that is requested in comment 0, should be there, too - allowing interested users to get into any detail level they wish, as a second step.. (In reply to Mike Kaganski from comment #7) > 2. The link to the wiki, that is requested in comment 0, should be there And indeed, it is there already, just buried at the very end of that huge list, making very sure that no one sane user would ever reach to that point ;) (In reply to Mike Kaganski from comment #8) > huge list an idea ... https://documentation.libreoffice.org/de/documentation/ |
