LO Help

Actually, the wiki I have been pointed to by Regina is the OOo
documentation wiki, which is a useful reference but not LO Help Wiki.

The links are the following:

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Calc:_Functions_listed_by_category

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Calc:_Functions_listed_alphabetically

If you send me the links to LO Help Wiki, I can dig further to check if
there are other problems. I feel that the situation of the help is a
huge mess anyway, because of inconsistencies between sources.

If LO Help Wiki is a conversion of the help files, the inconsistencies
apply, and the information are missing.

For instance, on OOo documentation wiki all functions have a "see also"
section, which in the help files is there (sometimes partially) but
hidden as a <comment>.

I would like to improve help files by reducing inconsistencies and
adding missing contents which are available elsewhere (documentation),
or making hidden contents visible, but I feel that - given the help
structure, which is rather weird - it would be impossible to get to a
satisfactory stage (but to my eyes an improved help is better than a bad
help).
