If you have an idea about documentation, please reply to this email.
We are open to anything.
Here are some that has been toyed around with:
* Using the Wiki for How Tos
* Setting up the Wiki for Todo Items
Looking forward to hearing from you.
For everyone's information: I am in the process of putting all the
OOoAuthors guides on the wiki. The text of three books (Writer, Impress,
Getting Started) is already there, and I am adding the figures and
cleaning up the formatting as I have time. I used Writer2MediaWiki to
convert from ODT to Mediawiki, but the formatting went a bit odd (due to
the macro's interpretation of the formatting in the ODT files). Help
with the cleanup would be very welcome!
this is great news! I am currently looking at a way to put the complete
application help to the wiki for collaborative editing and commenting.
I'll write more about that later (I'm busy in the US this week).
It looks like all the pieces are coming together on the wiki - that's
so excellent! I will talk to Stefan Taxhet and the server maintainers
about upgrading to a more recent version of mediawiki and additional
extensions. If you have any more functional requirements let me know.
I'll put up the Migration Guide and the existing chapters of the Calc
Guide soon. The Draw Guide has been revised by the German team and is
being translated back into English; when that is done, I will add the
Draw Guide to the collection.
The wiki is a good place to put How Tos as well as the FAQs (which still
need consolidation and updating). For How Tos, there will be a lot of
overlap between them and procedural info that is already in the
OOoAuthors guides, so we need to decide how best to handle this so that
we reuse as much material as possible.
This page:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/User_Manuals
needs to be revised to make it more suitable for users seeking
information, possibly by making separate pages for contributors and for
users. I've been thinking about the best approach but haven't come to a
conclusion yet... and perhaps someone else will have a good idea.
I was thinking to organize the wiki with subpages starting at the
wiki.services.openoffice.org/Documentation level, i.e.
w.s.oo.o/Documentation/manuals
w.s.oo.o/Documentation/applicationhelp
w.s.oo.o/Documentation/faqs
w.s.oo.o/Documentation/howtos
etc
This way we can nicely use Goggle for searching specific parts of
the wiki by using the subdomain search.
I suggest that we collect the ideas on the
w.s.oo.o/Documentation wiki page. Alan already pointed to
the proposal he initiated a while ago.
