Furthermore, what further skills do I need to acquire to be a
successful TW? I did do a fair amount of programming (Pascal, Object
PAL) when I was in school, but I'm certainly not a developer. I have
zilch experience writing online help, and from what I've seen, the
Help editors tend to be pretty expensive. Is that an expense I'll
eventually just have to bear? I've done a few simple web pages, enough
to where I'm comfortable with basic HTML. What about XML? Questions,
questions.
Not a lot. Quite simply you have to have a good grasp of grammar, spell
reasonably well and be technical enough that answers you get via your
research are translatable for our users. You ask about Help. At the
moment there is nothing outside of CVS adn you must have signed the JCA
in any case. So how can you help Help? Get on and explore the On-Line
Help web pages at http://documentation.openoffice.org/ and also
subscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] That way you get
to participate in the transition from Closed On-line help to Open
On-line Help.
Thanks Gerry, for promoting this. Just a little correction.
The online help *is* open since OOo 2. As open as a part of the
source code can be :-)
If you don't feel comfortable directly editing the help, which
I admit requires some technical overhead, you may send us feedback
about the online help (bugs, missing pieces) any time. You should use
Issuezilla, the process is described here:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/online_help/bugs.html
You seem to be new user of OOo and it would really be interesting
to hear your feedback - a fresh opinion of someone not corrupted
by the long use of OOo ;-) If you don't feel comfortable using
Issuezilla, send your comments directly to the online_help
mailing list.
In this way you would have a good chance of getting
familiar with the product, too.
Welcome
Frank
