Stale links...
I was looking here:
http://www.openoffice.org/support/index.html
The last link on the page is as follows:
OpenOffice.org Macros Explained (Publisher's site)
Introduction to macro programming in OpenOffice.org. 300 pages. August
2004, ISBN 1-930919-51-4.
The publisher is out of books and I offer a significantly updated free
version as a direct download from my web site.
http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php
Note that I have not finished updating the latest version, but it is
currently approaching 600 pages (I guess I added some new content).

I agree that a wiki style is better, especially as is now.

These pages are the same. <proj>.openoffice.org urls are redirected to www.openoffice.org/<proj>/

The page is in the Apache CMS and anyone can edit it - there is ASF support for this.
Anyone is welcome to develop a better Support page. Here is the history of the changes made at the ASF - note that since this went live the two people who made changes were Rob Weir and Jean Webber.

Do we continue using that very very old support page?
I had replaced it with http://suppport.ooo but that was, uhm, more
than five years ago. And times have changed. I'd rather have a modern,
ideally dynamic, in some way (so that there is no central admin, say)
wiki-style page. And I'd be surprised if we don't already.

Nope, the existing link takes you to the root macro page, which contains
numerous documents, including the updated book.
Thanks!

Hi Andrew,
I will remove the bottom link. Are there any changes to the other link
required?
BTW. Thanks for making a most helpful publication available.

Quick side note. Further up the page, it does link to my web site....
Perhaps the bottom link should simply be removed.
