Message #07802
[Merge] lp:~wesleystout/openlp/documentation into lp:openlp
Wesley Stout has proposed merging lp:~wesleystout/openlp/documentation into lp:openlp.
Requested reviews:
OpenLP Core (openlp-core)
For more details, see:
https://code.launchpad.net/~wesleystout/openlp/documentation/+merge/56399
I think this needs some further review before considered to be merged. I have cleaned up a few things, but as gushie pointed out earlier in IRC do we really need the much debated and corrected about OpenLP in both the FAQ and the introduction? Granted someone may read one and not the other, but is it that important that we have it included twice? I also wonder about the question "Is there a manual or documentation for OpenLP?" since well they are reading the manual that they are questioning about. Maybe something more along the lines of a how can I help with documentation? I'm thinking we may need to link some things that are in the FAQ over to the troubleshooting section also?

What is OpenLP?
---------------
-
-OpenLP stands for "Open source Lyric Projection" and is presentation software
-developed for Churches to provide a single easy to use interface for the
-projection needs of a typical act of Worship. First created in 2004, it has
-steadily grown in features and maturity such that is it now a mainstay in
-hundreds of churches around the world.
-
-It can hold a searchable database of song lyrics and Bible verses allowing them
-to be projected instantly or saved in a pre-prepared order of service file.
-Themes allow song backgrounds to be changed instantly. PowerPoint presentations,
-videos and audio files can be run from within the program removing the need to
-switch between different programs. Alert messages can be displayed so the
-Nursery or Car park stewards can notify the congregation easily. Remote
-capability allows the worship leader to change songs, or for alert messages to
-be sent from anywhere on the network, even via a phone.
-
-Being free, this software can be installed on as many computers as required,
-even on the home computers of worship leaders without additional cost. Compared
-to the expensive site licenses or restrictions of commercial software we believe
-OpenLP cannot be beaten for value. Still in active development by a growing team
-of enthusiastic developers, features are being added all the time, meaning the
-software just improves all the time.
