Not much to write. I'm a retired maths teacher living just north of Sydney, Australia. I have Arts and Education degrees but also tertiary studies in Surveying, Science, Computer Science and Botany.

I've been using open source software for many years and have often had to write my own manuals because none were available that gave me the answers I wanted. I'm currently doing the same for LibreCAD although I tend to take a slightly different approach to that used in the Wiki. Whereas the Wiki tends to take a "how to" approach I prefer to be more systematic and explore each command and option. The results become my manual.

I also prefer to use Open Office and export as pdf because I find it easier to include screen shots and diagrams. So far I've done stuff on the opening interface and the "File", "Edit" and "Dimension" menus of LibreCAD.

If people want a copy of what I've done so far I'm happy to make it available, either by contacting me directly or placing it on the Wiki, although I'm not sure how the latter would work.
