[libreoffice-l10n] Re: LibreOffice Help

[Sophie Gautier]

Hi Martin,
Hey, hey :-) this is not the case for the moment. Rob is currently working
on exporting the wiki help content to the sources (if I understand well).
My mail was to make sure that all the aspects of maintaining the help on
the wiki are taken into account. But if the help is better enhanced on the
wiki, it's not a problem on the contrary, the l10n process should not be
changed however.
Kind regards
Sophie
