Hi, thanks for replies guys.
In the green menu bar, having clicked on 'Writer > To be updated to LO
3.4', in the Navigation pane on the left side, I have three menu items;
"Contents", "View", and "Sharing".
"View" is selected by default. To the right on the green bar I have
"Translate into...", "Actions", and "State:Internal draft".
Each of the latter three items have dropdown submenus, none of which are
relevant to uploading.
In the "Contents" view, each file has a checkbox available to it, but
the menu items on the right side of the green bar then reduce to
"Translate into ..." on its own.
Clicking a file while in the "View" setting to the left of the green
bar, happily adds "Checkout" to the "Actions" menu dropdown list. I'm
happy with that part.
I just don't seem to have this "Add new..." on the green menu bar
Not a problem with permissions or suchlike I hope.

HI.
Can I have a little help please?. I'm still new and taking baby steps.
1. How do I upload files to ODFAuthors? Jean set up my account and
I've had a look around but can't see how it's done :-[ .
With Alfresco still down, I want to upload the chapter which I'd put
on there, but which obviously now is somewhere in the ether.
Do you want to upload a completely new document? Go to the
corresponding folder (e. g. Writer> To Be Updated to LO3.4). In the
green bar above the list with the files there is a menu entry called
"Add new..." with a arrow pointing downwards on its right side. Click
on this entry and chose then "Document". Give a name, enter a short
description, browse to the correct file on your computer and when
everything is filled in to your satisfaction click on "Save". That's
all.
Click "Add new ..." and in its menu select "File". Follow the rest
of the direction above. The menu no longer has "Document" as one of the
choices.
Additional if you have not already done this, your file should be
named as follows NameOfTheChapter_INITIALS_date_.odt. The date format is
YYYYDDMM. (e.g., uploads today should have 20120118) Also, if you are
reviewing someone else's chapter, you would put your initials after the
author's initials with underlining before and after your initials.
(ChapterName_JS_DEL_20120118.odt says that you wrote "Chapter Name", I
reviewed it, and it was uploaded today.

2. On the ODFAuthors site, how does one mark the file as being worked
on. I can't make out the 'Change State' functionality. I'm looking at
the Writer folders here BTW.
You go into the folder, click on the document name that you want to
edit. In the green menu bar above there is a menu entry called
"Actions". Click here and select "Check out". This will automatically
create a "working copy" (and you will see a double entry for this
chapter!) The original entry gets an extra banner, saying that XYZ has
created a working copy on this date...
Don't forget to download the chapter. :)
I had marked the chapter (Ch11 Writer) on the wiki as updated, so
I've got how to do that ok.
Sorry if this is a nuisance :-[ .
No, it's not. People asking how to do things gives us the chance to
improve our descriptions. :)
I hope my instructions are clear.
Sigrid
