        Subject: I would like an epub of "LibreOffice Writer" page
        
        Clear cold greetings from a seasoned, retired Linux guy.
        
        First off, Kudos on the 4 letter domain name, ahuka.com, and the information you have provided
        
        I have recently jumped head first into the rabbit hole of ebooks, ebook readers, and creating my own epub documents.  My planned workflow is:
        
        Development in LibreOffice Writer with custom template
        Finishing in Sigil
        
        This brings me to ask, have you created an epub version of the LibreOffice Writer page?
        
        If you have not, I will be sorely tempted to make one myself.
        
        Later,

        P.S. Note my 4 letter domain

Workflow and Process

The starting point for me is research. Of course the LibreOffice Documentation Site is important (there are very detailed guides for each of the components), as is the Document Foundation Wiki. There is the Ask LibreOffice site. There is also an excellent mailing list called Users. And I also look for articles on the Web. One person I pay close attention to is Bruce Byfield, who is really an expert on LibreOffice, and who is working on a book right now that will focus on Styles and Templates. He writes for a number of publications, so the best way to find his stuff is to follow him on Google+, or do a search on “Bruce Byfield LibreOffice” to get plenty of articles. I will of course be buying his book as soon as it comes out. When I find something that catches my eye, I usually save it in Evernote, which I happen to like enough to get a Pro account. And I want to mention a very detailed and excellent series of articles in Full Circle Magazine written by Elmer Perry. Full Circle is a free electronic magazine you can download. I have written for them before, and was initially considering doing something on LibreOffice, but Elmer’s series is pretty darned good and I don’t know that I could add enough to make it worthwhile.
