From koffice Mon Nov 15 12:36:11 1999 From: "Schmidt, Frank-Andreas" Date: Mon, 15 Nov 1999 12:36:11 +0000 To: koffice Subject: AW: Technical Editor for book about KOffice. X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=koffice&m=94266946708137 In reply to your message: I´m interested to do some work for that book on KOffice or for the KOffice project generally. But I´m afraid that I´m not too deep in the technical details. I´m a typical user. For 1,5 ys. I´m using the LINUX / KDE and -for the future- intend to use KOffice instead of StarOffice to have a productive environment without spending that much money. I´m sick of all that WINDOOFS stuff that costs a lot of money, functions poor and has no support. My vision is a LINUX distribution, containing KDE, KOffice and other useful programms together with a helpful setup routine that allows the average-intelligent computer user to setup his system to be productive from the start. The average user, as I am one, wants to write documents, calculate, draw, store data, send and receive mail and fax, use a news-system and perhaps has remote-login. In this sense a book should be written to guide a user step-by-step to get a fully functioning productive office environment. I would like to contribute to that by every thing you want me to do except programming code. So, if you or the author of the KOffice book are looking for a person to be able to look through the "user-glasses", I´m your man. In any other case I apologize for the inconvenience to read the mail. With greetings from -the arctic rain forest- F.-A.
