Sounds good -- and all the topics  from  "I know how to do this" could eventually be used in 
developing a guide focused on *why* you would use a function, or set of related ones, rather than 
simply how each function operates. That would also help people coming from other suites or programs. 
They'd be nice as index entries in Help, etc., also. Most of the material is already documented in 
one or more places, of course, it's just that we need to get people to it. Another consequence would 
be a convenient place for translating terminology; what MS calls "x" is called "y" in LibO.
