I worked to implement the issue 61139 and I'm now working on issue
12626, both as developer.
The issue 61139 (new PDF options) is closed, but I'm not sure if help
or tooltip were added to the OOo mainline.
From what I've seen checking out the helpcontent2 source tree it seems
they weren't.
Luckily these new options are quite simple, so at first an on-line
help is not needed.
But it would be nice to add it. Can I be of help on this ? I have no
idea how the help text draft are started, but may be I can do
something.
Now the other one, bigger one, issue 12626.
This is the implementation of the password security to exported PDF.
As you can see there, in the issue, the tab page referring to the
Password Security threaten to become complicated.
Is there a way I can provide in advance a description to be used in
the help and/or tooltips ?
I know that in the specification much can be said, but so far they
seem terse for a help author to obtain whatever information needed.
I know from former talks that the help cannot be added until the issue
has been merged into the main codeline, but wouldn't it be nice if the
work on writing the on-line help started as soon as the specification
were finished and approved and not when the code is merged back into
the main code line ?
Of course these are just my ideas...
Providing this information in advance is a very good idea. Thank
you for suggesting it.
The help is not the only place this information is needed. Those
of us writing user guides need it too. I suggest you write a
description and submit it as a Task issue for Documentation,
sub-component Online Help. Assign the issue to Uwe Fischer
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and cc it to me ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
and to GRS ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) so we know about it for
the manuals as well.
