It would be desirable for the Apache (OpenOffice) help files to be updated in such a way that a user could search for common tasks and have a help file entry refer them to the location in example database showing one possible solution for the task.

The library file should be delivered as a uno.package easily integrated into an existing Apache OpenOffice installation. Currently, this would not be possible, and a supporting macro library would be required. The ultimate realization of this would be the distribution of only an ODB file. The example should be as self-contained as possible. This solution should be extensive enough and polished enough for use by someone presenting / proposing adoption of to non-technical management in their organization. Marketing - The file should, as much as possible, implement a real world business need. Support - The file should address a number of common tasks that users need to perform when constructing a business solution using Base. A proposal has been made on the mailing list that just such an example be constructed and submitted to Apache OpenOffice for inclusion in the distribution files. The current release of Apache OpenOffice does not include any example Base files.
