If you start to type something into your browser's address bar, you will want to open web page.

Taking profit from your discussion with Juergen, I would suggest as
main categories:
- Development of OpenOffice.org
- Development with OpenOffice.org
- Marketing
- NLC
- Project
- Wiki
Sounds good, but I think Documentation deserves a spot there too, as
most stuff on the Wiki is Documentation. If not, there at least needs
to be a Toplevel-Category Using OpenOfffice.org (as opposed to the
Development-Categories).
Sure - was forgotten that one ..
Few remarks:
- currently, Documentation is both main category and sub category of
Project.
Yes, this is intentionally. Every subcategory of Project should be
something represented by real people. These are the owners of the pages
in their category and in their subcategories.
Documentation being on the toplevel of the MainIndex is because:
- Most of the Wiki _is_ Documentation
- They have a decent organization of subcategories
That is what I understand and see reflected now on the category page.
- currently Performance is both under Development and Project.
Intentionally, because it is an Office-wide Development Effort and not
limited to some modules. Same for API, Porting, ESC.
OK, if that does work.
- API, Extensions should be under Development with OpenOffice.org
Separating Development of and Development with sounds like a
sensible thing. However, we should really get rid of Development
then, as covers way to many topics (pretty much everything
not-Marketing and not-Enduser).
Then you must think of some new main categories?
- ODFToolkit maybe as main category (after all it is
http://odftoolkit.org/ as very main ;-) )
True.
I found this:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Category:SOP
sorting out categories and it is seems really useful.
A few points from those:
- One should never create or modify a page so that it does not belong to
a project. If one wants to not yet show a page in the Project
Category one should use a subcategory for those.
(for example: Category:Quality Assurance/Draft)
Exceptions are the User:-Pages and their subpages which can be used as
Sandboxes.
- The Developemnt and Wiki categories and their subcategories are
supplemental as they do not attribute ownership to a project.
- new Categories should always be a subcategory of an existing category
(and thus end up somewhere on the MainIndex)
- All projects should take a look at their subcategories and clean up
if needed. NLC should consolidate on a naming scheme for
subcategories (languages).
- Category pages should never redirect as it is really a maintenance
hassle. If the Category has a frontpage just link to it from the
category page.
- Never black a page. Use {{delete}} instead. (I will mark the ca. 50
blank pages we have in the wiki for deletion soon).
Great. To serve that, we are best helped with a clear structure, of
which it is obvious right away how it works.
Therefore my enthusiasm for your work on this.
This:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Special:UncategorizedCategories
looks good.
This:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WantedCategorieslimit=100

Indeed. (I see there is also something to learn and do for the people

We can of course provide a special section that addresses mainly the programming from outside (means macros and extensions) but in general i would not differentiate from the beginning. Many things are the same. As long as it is easy to follow for people working with extensions and macro's, it's fine to me. From an API perspective it's the same.

That currently the API is put on top of a longer existing implementation is just an implementation detail ;-) Building functional blocks and combine them via clear defined interfaces ...

Few remarks: - currently, Documentation is both main category and sub category of Project. - currently Performance is both under Development and Project. - API, Extensions should be under Development with OpenOffice.org as long as we have this project view it's fine, it provides just a further way to this categories.

Hi Per, IMO this is a great and valuable job. A very big + from my side :-) Cor Per Eriksson wrote (15-7-2009 11:09) Hello, I am cross-posting this to dev and documentation, but think that best would be if discussions run on dev, as many of the details probably will be discussed there. As a part of the Simplifying entry for new developers [1] effort I have the idea of collecting all the wiki pages about building the software into a building guide, as the developer guide [2]. I have discussed with several people about including it into the developer guide, but the answer was always that the developer guide would get too big. I therefore see building as an own process or part. Having a building guide would simplify and make it easier for new developers to find articles and getting to the right pages faster by providing the navigation as in the developer guide. This work would be done by sorting, consolidating and editing the various wiki pages into a guide with a structure. In this work various negative comments about building OpenOffice.org being impossible in the articles will be replaced by constructive tips for the developer. If you think this is a good idea, I will start a new small effort for this in the wiki.

Ian Lynch wrote (9-6-2008 22:02) I wish you the best of luck in getting a more democratic and participative Community Council. If you look back over the archives for the last 4 years you will see quite a few people who committed a lot of time to the project giving up. Sadly the project simply loses those resources. [...] Happily quite some stay and join as well. I admit that the way the CC is composed, is not the most democratic. And I see no problems in steps towards a change. But I do not overestimate the effects of such a change. OOo is complicated product and project, where many things go fine and also a lot don't. Most important IMO is to try to contribute/keep the situation so, that open communicating is possible, so that natural changes - in whatever direction - are not too much blocked by stress.

This hasn't been corrected on later editions, so I guess nobody else who has spotted it has managed to report it]. I suggest you ask it in one of the ways mentioned above. Hope you don't mind me emailing you directly, but didn't know what else to do. It's OK. I hope you find your way better now.

That's a matter of education then. Developers should get acquainted with the idea that feature announcements should be written such that they're end user compatible ;-) We could also agree on something like tagged sections, such as a [technical] blah here [/technical] would not be included in a compilation of feature announcements. Using square brackets instead of angle brackets would prevent confusion with HTML tags if the text is to be included in some HTML page like a wiki or such. The EIS form could actively support that by offering two textareas, one description for users, one technical. For general users and marketing, easy understandable wording is important. But for people preparing the end-user-Wiki (for that purpose) more technical info can be useful. Also, it's not the job or competence of a developer to write end user compatible, is it? Would be a pity if that took a lot of effort. Full information for those testing and writing the end-user-Wiki (without any features missing) would be sufficient, IMO. Unless of course, a situation can be achieved where the system and procedures can expected to produce info that: - always has all features; - is well understandable for end users; - directly exports to the feature announcements-page. In that case, extra effort for the end-user-Wiki as it is now, would be useless :-) Regards, Cor -- Cor Nouws Arnhem - Netherlands nl.OpenOffice.org - marketing contact - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [dev] automatic release notes
Frank Schönheit - Sun Microsystems Germany wrote (11-11-2007 22:14) While we are at it ... Somebody should look at those notes *before* they're published. It's nice to have automatisms, but as with other automatisms, there's a need for manual post-work. In this case, IMO it's a strong need. In the current form, which a) has a unfriendly layout b) contains semantic, grammatical and orthographic errors c) contains duplicates, it is a little bit of a shame, given that usually, we expect this to be a very early reading for a lot of people, once a new version is out. Could this meet 'your' needs, Frank http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/New_Features_2.3#Full_list If so, the release notes-page is useful for those needing/wanting more technical data, and the wiki for users.

Who is in charge of this page? The volunteer :-) Inspired by the good work done by Sophie in the past, and the fact that we want such a page in Dutch as well, I picked it up. My idea is to document the steps, somewhere on the wiki, and make that known on [EMAIL PROTECTED] at the least, so that others can join or just step in, when I come in trouble with available time... It is therefore that I jump in every time, when there is a discussion that might lead to a more reliable automatic collection of issues ;-) BTW: at some stage after release of 2.3.0 it was linked from the projects main page.

Kohei Yoshida wrote (9-11-2007 17:34) Still, 90% is still a good success rate, don't you think? :-) If that dropped to 70%, then I'd worry, but 90% sounds still success enough to me. But maybe I'm being too optimistic. Well, since we try to make every neat new feature known, it just is a pity that it takes so much time to collect the last 10 %. Just to be clear, nothing gets me more excited than knowing that a feature I work to create is being marketed. So, I would be the last person to hide his own features. I even have by own blog for that. So, if you point me to your own compilation of new features, and I don't see my feature included there, I would even complain loudly hey you forgot my feature. ;-) Think I'm going to test that ;-) Thanks for the discussion, Kohei.
