Re: [libreoffice-documentation] How to stop emails from CMS?
Hi, :-) I am not aware of any way to change this. You'd have to go on the website list and pester Christian Lohmaier about it. My only solution is to set a filter of some kind in your mail client. HTH, but I imagine it doesn't much...

[libreoffice-documentation] Writer Guide status / my role
I plan to keep working my way through the Writer Guide chapters in the Drafts space. When Barbara and I finish with them, I plan to start reviewing the ones she has put in the Review space. With any luck, those can go directly to Proofing. I am not paying much attention to terminological consistency, as I think that's a "nice to have" that can wait until the next release of the book and I'm not great at that level of detail anyway. I am trying to do all the rebranding things, but no doubt I'll miss something that someone will pick up on the next pass. The one thing I am definitely NOT doing is changing the borders and the row colours in tables of data. Now that the OOo books have their tables in black, white, and gray, I can't see the need for taking the time to change them to a slightly different pattern of black, white, and gray. Maybe for a later release, but not now. If someone else wants to do it now, that's their business. When things are well enough advanced, I'm happy to put all the chapters together into a book... unless the various steps take so long that I've gone off on some trip and am not available. Of course, if someone else wants to do it, that's fine with me. I've not caught up with who else is working on the Writer Guide, or what they are doing or planning to do.

I just noticed that those spaces are there. Probably have been for some time, but I hadn't noticed. Sorry, Jeremy; you're probably wondering "what is she on about?" :-) Shall I start uploading the OOo files to the Drafts folders for Draw, Calc, Math, for people to work on rebranding when they have a chance? The OOo Impress Guide, btw, needs more updating. Michele Zarri is working on it, though I don't have a estimated date when he'll had the revised draft ready. --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/documentation/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

But the Writer Guide chapters on the wiki were out of date. The Docs page on the main LibO website never did link to anything except the Getting Started guide.

I notice that the Documentation/Development page has been amended to refer to work being done on Alfresco. Hal Hi Hal, all I disagree. I think the Getting Started guide chapters are well enough along to be considered almost final for a first release. They just need to be reviewed by someone before being considered final for 3.3. If we remove the Writer Guide files, what are the users going to read if they need some documentation? Especially since 3.3 was just released and many people will be visiting the site. They need to be able to download something, even if it's not finished. The wiki is a working space as well, in every area of the project. I also thought that the documentation development page for working files should not have been deleted so quickly. Alfresco is only in it's infantcy as far as implementation goes. It would have been nice to have kept it until things are more ironed out. Just my opinion though.

[libreoffice-documentation] How to stop emails from CMS?
Now that I have access to the website, I'm getting messages whenever someone changes any page. How can I stop these emails? Or at least restrict them to pages that I might choose to "watch" or have made changes to myself?

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Joining the documentation 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 :) From: Surat Lozowick To: documentation@libreoffice.org Sent: Fri, 28 January, 2011 19:25:45 Subject: [libreoffice-documentation] Joining the documentation team Hello LibreOffice documentation team!

[libreoffice-documentation] [ ] vs <>
Aaargh, i think the correct term is [chuckle] using <> means keep doing whatever until a relevant ends it. I'm glad i am not the only one that sometimes gets thrown by names that are too similar. Firefox often seems to be called "Mozzarella" (a type of cheese) lqtm. I tend to find it easier to format and place pictures but uploading them is trickier. If people have trouble with one aspect then it's probably better to do the bit you can and make a note so that the reviewer can do the other bit. Collaboration rather than over-reaching your limits. You will soon find the answer anyway.
