Although some of the topics covered in this blog post may not be directly relevant to our user guides, many points are directly relevant, especially regarding the speed with which user guides need to be written and updated and the ways in which contributors can work together most efficiently. Here's one quote (among many) that I think is relevant to our project: "I discourage the use of terms like ‘authors’ as this denotes legacies of ownership and does not encourage new contributors to take the mandate to improve the book." I found that after I had decided to change the title "Authors" (as it is currently in the OOo books) to "Contributors" in the 3.3 version of the user guides. --Jean --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
