I will set up accounts for both of you on the ODFAuthors website. That is where 
we keep working copies of the files for the user guides. You should register 
for an account on the wiki, if you don't already have one (you can do that 
yourself, unlike at ODFAuthors). The wiki is where we track the work (who is 
doing what) and keep other information for and about the project. You don't 
need an account to read what's there, only to edit it.
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development

The Contributors Guide includes our writing style guide as well as info on file 
naming and other procedural topics. I am in the process of updating some of the 
info.

The high priority work at this time is updating the Calc Guide and Base 
Handbook to LibreOffice v4.1. If you are interested in working on either of 
them, I can point you to more info on what's needed.

We also have a wish list of other (mostly shorter) items to write, edit, or 
update: tutorials, how tos, FAQs, tips and hints... In addition, research on 
what's missing or needs better explanation in our user docs, and contributions 
to the Docs Team's blog, are always needed.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Joining the Documentation Team

[Errol Goetsch]

Hi there

I'd like to help too. For my sins, I wrote policies for Govt. and 
speeches for politicians for money, but also technical manuals for fun.
I run a non profit now that audits public sector projects, in the hope 
of more sustainability and impact.
I love the high quality and zero cost of LibreOffice and will do what I 
can to help.

If you want to work on English docs, the biggest need right now is to
work on the conversion of OpenOffice.org Calc guide and Draw guide
chapters to LibreOffice. Some chapters have been done but most have
not been finished. Conversion requires some new screenshots as well as
careful checking of features and functions, some of which are
different.

This work is done through the Alfresco website. You will need someone
to set up an account for you there. At this time I can't do it

That sounds great. What do you prefer? Working in English or German? If you 
want to help with the German guides, please have a look at 
http://odfauthors.org and read what you find there. If you have more questions, 
don't hesitate to ask them - eithere here on this list or on the German 
discuss-list disc...@de.libreoffice.org

Sure, there is a chance for this.

[libreoffice-documentation] Joining the documentation team

[Mr Christian McGurl]

Dear LibreOffice documentation team,

If you're still looking for contributors,  I'd very much like to get involved 
in 
documentation for your Open Source  project. I have a degree in English 
Literature, and before I finished  my studies I worked for 10+ years in a 
market 
research firm, where I was  also frequently called upon to do translations and 
proofreading and to work on the  copy-writing for project reports and 
questionnaires, so I have a little  bit of previous writing experience (though 
not specifically 'technical'  writing). Most of all, however, I have a growing 
interest in the field  itself, so I am motivated,  eager to learn and willing 
to 
spend the time to become more familiar  with the craft. Plus, I believe in the 
Open Source philosophy (I've  benefitted myself) and would like to help  
advance 
the project. I can work in both English and German.

If there is a chance that I can become part of LibreOffice, I would love to 
hear 
from you! Been following the thread and got the impression that proofreading 
documents may be the place to get started.
Best wishes from Munich, Germany,

Chris McGurl

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Joining the Documentation Team

IMO the best place to begin is with the chapters of the Writer Guide,
which are in the Review space for that book. These chapters have been
through the rebranding cycle and are ready for proofreading. The Calc
chapters have not yet been rebranded, figures updated, etc.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Joining the Documentation Team

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)

I often think that proof-reading or reviewing documents and getting them 
through 
that process is a great way to start especially if people have little orr no 
experience with the product.  It leads to grokking the product much better & 
much faster and is incredibly useful.  The most important thing is to try a few 
different stages and see which suits your mood.

Regards from
Tom :)

I'm open to suggestions.  I think I could be productive if I had some 
copy-editing and proofing to do, as I could nibble away at that while I'm not 
pounding away on my Science Fiction or other authoring work.  I'm particularly 
talented at finding inconsistencies in technical docs, and I just love fixing 
punctuation and formatting nits in the Wikipedia articles I read .

I've been browsing through the archive here, and trying to understand "the 
situation".  I think the wiki should be updated with an answer so it doesn't 
need to be gone over every time someone comes in.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Joining the Documentation Team

Hi John, :-)

Just to give you a quick idea, you could take a look on the Alfresco
site on the path:

LibreOffice > LibreOffice Documentation > en > Calc > Working > Drafts

There, you'd find draft chapters of the Calc guide and could dive in
there, if you wanted...?

In case it's useful, I'll send you some Alfresco documentation, but we
also now have an "Alfresco Boot Camp" document, written by Jeremy
Cartwright, to get you started. I'll send you that, too.

The wiki is a work in progress right now, we need to update that.

I created an account for you on the Alfresco site that a lot of the
English docs contributors are starting to use for docs work. I mailed
you the details.

Is there anything specific you'd like to work on, or would you like to
be suggested some possible work waiting to be done?

Howdy, everyone!
I'm an experienced technical writer, having published in numerous magazines 
including several "covers".  I'm also an experienced technical editor and 
copy-editor for technical material.
I've been a practicing C++ developer for many years, and right now I want to 
turn again to writing.  I'd like to get involved with the LibreOffice 
documentation, as soon as I can.

If Surat actually needs an account on libreoffice.org he can certainly
have one. As for documentfoundation.org, it's not possible to sign-up
for an account there at present.

The Alfresco site would be the most important, I guess, and I see
Jeremy's already taken care of that.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Joining the documentation team

Hi :)

There are a few websites.  An important one is the wiki
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org

I'm still hoping someone else can help you register with the LibreOffice and 
DocumentFoundation ones though.

Good luck and regards from

Hello to you too. :)

I have created an account for you on Alfresco and sent you an off-list
email with the particulars. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Welcome to the team!

Hi :)

Welcome in.  Resumes and examples are not necessary.  Just register and start 
working your magic.  


There are probably some guidelines to help with all this alfresco newness.  
Alfresco is a fairly new system to us but it is rapidly getting much better as 
people get used to it and report problems to the list so that they get fixed.

There are probably more guidelines  to try to help us try to stay reasonably 
consistent although i think we should avoid being excessive about that 
otherwise 
it will take too long to get our first finished result out there. 


I think our main focus should be on making sure we don't accidentally say 
OpenOffice where we should say LibreOffice.  Apart from that i think we can 
forgive each other a lot.

Reviewing is probably an excellent idea because then you can just jump straight 
in without worrying about the guidelines too much and perhaps just build up  
from there.

Good luck and welcome in from
Tom :)

Hello LibreOffice documentation team!

I'm interested in contributing to LibreOffice, and since I don't know how to
code and I do know how to write, the documentation team seemed like a good
fit. Of the areas listed on libreoffice.org, the two that most interest me
(and I could do best) are "Authoring" and "Proofreading, reviewing and
editing." I worked as an assistant editor for the newspaper at my college,
so I have experience writing, editing, and proofreading (I also took classes
in journalism). I use Writer and Impess with some regularity, although I'm
no LibreOffice expert. I would be happy to send along some of my writing or
even a resume, if that would be useful.

Thanks,
