PROPOSED SOLUTION: I imagine the simplest solution might be to append this link: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications to this page: http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/ ------------------------------------------- PROBLEM: Perhaps a html link was accidentally deleted from LibreOffice.org, but at the moment, an important link to LO documentation is mislocated I think. Let's take the example of drilling down to find the LibreOffice Base Handbook, containing Chapter 9, "Macros". The only link I can find to it is from here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications The trouble is, how does one get from LibreOffice.org, to this page to find it? If you start at LibreOffice.org and click on Get Help | Documentation, you won't find any reference to this important Base documentation manual covering Macros. Notes: 1: I've also looked through the other resources from LibreOffice.org | Get Help | Documentation, leading here: http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/ but the resources there are only introductory, and for recorded macros. 2: So far, I've found the LibreOffice Base Handbook the very best, most recent, LO resource to explain Macro programming. If there is something newer, and/or more obvious, I would be interested. 3: Here's how you can, circuitously, drill down to this documentation from LibreOffice.org: * You have to click on "Community" and then select "wiki", which I don't think is a very obvious way to find documentation. Here is that procedure in detail: -------------------------------------------- Starting at: http://www.libreoffice.org/ Click "Community" on the menu, then select "Wiki" This takes you to: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Main_Page Then go down to "Teams", and "Documentation", and click on: "Guides" This takes you to: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications where you can scroll down to find this manual: Browse down to: "LibreOffice Base Handbook", then down to "chapter 9 Macros" ------------------------------------------- Thanks for your work on this!
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?

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 ;)
