People come in and say "hey, how can I help".
I would like to provide a solid answer, but, the best I can probably do
is to point them to this mailing list. Would be nice if we had a WIKI
page or document to spell it out.
So, I looked here:
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation
The best I could find was a link to here
http://www.openoffice.org/documentation/
None of the pages give concrete direction or suggestions.
The ODF team uses Write documents with set styles and templates. For
review, you enable change tracking, make your changes, rename the
document, then put it back for the original author to accept or reject
your changes.
In GIMP, you edit an XML file and submit your changes directly to a lead
who integrates your changes. I submitted so many changes that I had
direct write access, but that occurred over time based on previous work.
So, how does it work for AOO? It would be nice if it were spelled out on
a specific page. The best that I can figure is that anyone can simply
edit the WIKI and make direction changes with no review process.
Yep, just jump in and change what ever you want.
Would rather see clear direction that tells them this is what is
expected, and, if not, indicate what is expected.
Also, are we making any provisions for having multiple versions of
documentation on the wiki? Consider when things are set for version 4
and we start working towards something on the near horizon. Do we simply
modify the existing for what will be coming out in a few months?
