Hi :) I think our main focus needs to be official documentation. I was just curious about how people feel about the wikipedia thing. I think i am still fairly stuck on the idea of a shared page but i agree with David's points. I think the OpenOffice page about Calc goes into too much detail which inevitably gets out-dated too easily. I think an equivalent page for LibreOffice should mainly just point people to specific wiki pages within LibreOffice and to documentation or even better just avoid most of that detail.
