Thanks for your input. These is much to learn!
I am referring to the LibreOffice download page. Why? Because it sounds
like I am not the only one who is unaware that we need to download a
separate file for the Help files. It should be a relatively simple fix
to just re-word what is on that page so that people understand. It is
puzzling that this has not been done since people are aware of the problem.
I can see what is on the wiki. However, Olivier said "But it requires
permanent reordering and addition/deletion/update of hundreds of pages,
permanently." I was trying to understand if he was saying that it is not
a great source of information. In any case, it sounds like it is the
only place to get an overview of LibreOffice (although it is still
challenging to do so).
From your description of Pootle, I was able to learn that an online
version of LibreOffice is in the works. I don't really understand the
rest of it, but at least I now know that Pootle is related to that project.

Hi Olivier,
Thanks again for the responses.
If this has been a problem for a while, I am puzzled about why it has
not been fixed. Are you aware of a reason why the download page cannot
be re-worded now?
It depends on which download page you're talking about. The download
page on the main website is reworked by infrastructure, design and
marketing project, together with the donate page. It's currently being
improved before being translated. For the download page of the
documentation project, the page is quite new, and maybe no volunteer had
time to work on it for the moment.
To be clear, what are you saying is the best source of information for
people who are new to this and want to learn about the overall
LibreOffice project? Are you saying that the wiki is not useful because
so much work needs to be done on it?
On the wiki, you'll see the different sub-projects of the LibreOffice
overall project, mainly: development, QA (quality assurance), UX/Design
(user experience), l10n (localization), documentation, infrastructure,
marketing, certification and NLPs (native language projects). All those
sub projects interact together to finally deliver LibreOffice the
product. You'll find also information about the Document Liberation
Project (DLP) which is another project under TDF umbrealla.
As long as I am asking questions, here is one more: What is the Pootle
server?
Pootle is an instance used by the l10n team to localize LibreOffice UI
and Help, part of the website, LibreOffice On Line currently.
Don't hesitate to ask any question you have :)
Cheers
Sophie
