2011-04-21 Thread Simon Dexter
Hello, 
I am interested in making contribution to LibreOffice but I'm having hard time 
figuring out how different components of the system are related. Is there any 
kind of diagram for developers helping understand how LibreOffice source code 
is structured? 

Thanks,

Simon

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Ping Simon: Rebranding etc

2011-04-21 Thread Simon
I downloaded chap 1 of the calc guide from alfresco after checking the site
and wiki to see if there is a newer version. I noticed that the screenshot
for the quickstarter was from OOo so replaced it with the LO version (from
Win 7), renamed the figure, and added an image of the tray icon.

There are a number of OOo screens which I could replace. Think I read
somewhere that screenshots for features that are not windows-specific are
better taken from Ubuntu? May be mistaken.

Anyway if I'm not wasting my time on a deprecated doc, I could go ahead and
replace some of those screenshots and upload the draft before tackling more
urgent tasks (other windows-specific features and differing functionality in
Calc chaps, Writer)?

 I left notes in the relevant chapters; checking... Chapter 10 is one.
 Can't
 recall now if there was in fact another.

I thought I had replaced all those pix, so you may have an old copy of
that file. If so, probably I goofed and didn't upload the latest. It's
also possible I missed some pix. I'll check my copy when I get a
chance later today. What is the publication date given on the
copyright page?

You are correct that pix should not be taken from Windows except for
Windows specific things or pix in which it's not obvious which o/s
it's from (many cropped pix fall in that group). Any version of Linux
(not just Ubuntu) is okay and so is Mac OS X.
