Re: [libreoffice-documentation] I'm working on Calc Guide
Hi, :-) Since I've begun with LibreOffice, there seems to be a split between the n00bs who joined on with LibreOffice and the old-schoolers who have been up and down since StarOffice, and what is the best way to work toward LibreOffice documentation. I just want to see one big happy family working in a coordinated way. In light of the recent developments at Oracle, and the perhaps timely personal disaster we have experienced with our Alfresco workflow being reset, I wonder in which direction the community will go. Is Jean Hollis Weber willing/able to modify her accepted plone setup to not rely so much on OpenOffice.org workflow and getting started documentation? Is David Nelson going to re-emerge as the driving force behind Alfresco? Is there going to be some consensus reached as to what is the real and proper way to document LibreOffice? I wonder in which direction the community will go. If a leader emerges, I will follow. If one doesn't emerge... we need a leader. I'm still around, but have been taken up by daily life for the past month. However, I get mail notifications of document additions, edits and updates on Alfresco (these will be sent to a dedicated public mailing list as soon as the notification templates are configured to contain more-useful information than at present). I now have a lot more time again. Personally, I plan to focus on configuring and developing the Alfresco platform as my first task, working from suggestions and discussion from the English docs team and interested localization people. Alfresco has many potentials as a working tool, for documentation work, for localization work, and for other areas of the LibreOffice project / TDF organization too. I continue to see it as an ideal tool for LibreOffice documentation, and want to get the Alfresco project involved in helping us get the most out of it quickly. I probably need to do more communication about Alfresco to the LibreOffice lists, so that people get a better understanding of what it can be used for. But, obviously, no-one is obliged to use Alfresco if they have other preferred tools and methods. In any case, I'll post again soon with more Alfresco news and ideas. As regards LibreOffice English/localized documentation, whatever platform is used for docs team work, we recently discussed the need to finalize a document reference system. Notably it needs to be platform independent (fields contained in document meta data, for instance). That would be something we should do pretty urgently, IMHO.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Documentation Team Leader?
Hi, :-) I think that I'd prefer just to talk of a role acting as a responsive central contact rather than a team leader as such. People can be highly active and available some of the time, but need to pull back a bit at other times to deal with other things. So I prefer the leadership to float and simply fall de facto on the most-active member(s) of the team at a given moment. IMHO, each contributor should feel liberty of action and freedom to take a lead role in an initiative, without feeling they have to defer to an official or unofficial team leader. I like the way people have been discussing and negotiating together about work, without any one person feeling they have a weightier opinion than someone else. On balance, I'd say no to a permanent team leader at this time. -1 David Nelson -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-documentation]
Hi Simon, :-) We don't have any developer documentation as such at this time. It can be considered to be a mid-term goal to do some, but the LibreOffice codebase is going through a re-structuring (they're trying to break away from Java and move towards Python, for instance), so it's maybe not the best time at the moment. So the kind of design overview that you're looking for does not currently exist AFAIK David Nelson -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Hi, It'd be great if you could stick up your hand. My best regards .. Carlos Martinez Jean Hollis Weber skrev 2011-04-23 05:30: Recently, several people have mentioned the need for a Docs team leader. Some time ago, David Nelson urged me to take on that role. I declined, choosing to stay in my role of Co-Lead at OpenOffice.org. Now, with Oracle's recent announcement about turning OOo over to the community, I am reconsidering my choices. A question to you, the members of the LibreOffice Docs team (and other interested people): in the hypothetical situation that I stick up my hand for the Docs team leader role, would you consider me suitable? Some of you know my style from OOo. I'm a pragmatist: while I'd love to have us maintain a workflow that includes good reviews (both technical and editorial), I think it's more important to get information out there as quickly as possible in a form that's suitable for the general audience. In other words, if enough people are not available to do reviews quickly, then I tend to publish early and clean up any errors later. Similarly, I prefer to have no info on a topic than hold up publication until the info can be obtained and verified; missing info can be added as it becomes available. I'm also 100% in favour of maintaining the source docs for the user guides in ODT format, which enables us to publish them in numerous formats relatively quickly and easily. This is what we're doing now. (An additional benefit is that using ODT files enables people to work on the user guides without needing to have Internet access while doing the work.)

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Documentation Team Leader?
Short response: +1 from me and especially the use of ODT as format of source docs. Longer response: Having lurked around the Authors group for a while, I firmly believe in some form of leadership, else we all tend to leave it to others and concentrate on our day job! ;=) As a well known management consultant here in CH said: RESULTS, RESULTS, RESULTS. Nothing else really counts.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] about alfresco platform
On Wed, Mar 30, 2011 at 11:02, Hal Parker halparke...@gmail.com wrote: David Nelson can probably tell you better than I can, but this is what I understand. The Alfresco site is intended to be a place for people to work on documentation for LibreOffice (ODFAuthors is another place). When documents are published, they are made available to users through other websites, such as the wiki or the LibreOffice.org website or a separate Alfresco site that people do not need to log in to. Different language groups can set up their part of the Alfresco site in any way suits their preferred workflow. Alfresco could be used as a document and content storage repository by just about any team. At the moment, it's being used regularly by the English docs team. You have two URLs for Alfresco: http://alfresco.libreoffice.org and http://documentation.libreoffice.org. Documentation could be worked on and then theoretically be published to the world directly from http://documentation.libreoffice.org. But the TDF wiki is currently the final point of publication for files, with links to those files also being posted on the libreoffice.org site (http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/) During the recent reinstallation, I set things up so that a space named after each language code constitutes the main point of entry to content in that language. The way a language team wants to set things up within that space is entirely up to them. If a team wants, we can simply replicate the English space, so that they can start with the same content and structure as the English docs team, and then work with that as it is or else adapt it to wishes.

Do you want to contribute to English documentation or documentation in another language? Can you tell us a bit more about what kind of work you'd like to do on documentation? I guess the first steps at this time would be to create you a user account on LibreOffice's Alfresco platform. Then you should create yourself an account on the LibreOffice wiki at http://wiki.documentfoundation.org.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] about alfresco platform

At this time I don't think people can register themselves, but perhaps David Nelson can change that. I don't know very much about making Alfresco work. Best way may be for someone in the Spanish team to have admin rights so he can register other users. At the moment, there is no self-registration. Accounts need to be created by an admin. I guess that, ideally, at least one person from each language team should be made admin. Daniel (Rodriguez), I've given you admin rights. If other members of the Spanish team need admin rights, please do feel free to add them, or else give me a heads up and I'll do it for you... ok David, Thanks! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Escuelas Libres :: Porque la educación es mucho mejor cuando es libre http://www.escuelaslibres.org.ar/ --- Para entrenar, cualquier programa sirve.

With Regards, Parichay Chakrabarti Welcome! I hope Jeremy or someone can set you up with an Alfresco account. What would you like to work on? We have been converting the OpenOffoce.org user guides to LibreOffice as a quick way to produce some documentation, but other docs (tutorials, docs for specific audiences, FAQs etc) are needed too. You'll find that we are still discussing how to proceed but much can be done without formal processes in place IMO.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] application for document writer
Hi Parichay, :-) When working with Alfresco, you need to distinguish between your own personal workspace, where you can add anything you want, and the various project workspaces on the platform (where you can add stuff that's ready for the team to continue working with). People will be able to see all stuff in any space, and download it. When it's publication-ready, it will be copied from the Alfresco platform to the LibreOffice wiki, where it will be listed there and on the main LibreOffice website (libreoffice.org). When you do work, it's best to come and announce your plans/intentions here on the Documentation mailing list, so that other team members can advise you and be aware of what's in progress. Insofar as you use the Alfresco platform for your work, there is not currently any acceptance process. What will happen is that another team member will take a look, and probably do the next work task. We'd only roll back your upload and reject the work if there was some dire problem with it. Again, when you finish work, post a message here to let people know - although there will be a public commits mailing list reporting work on the Alfresco platform operational in an unfinished form later today. Parichay, it's great to have everyone possible putting work in on English docs, but I'd also urge you to go on the l10n list and ask about localization work. It is likely that there is no-one working on content for your mother tongue. Speaking personally, I've always felt that, insofar as possible, it's best to have mother-tongue writers doing the authoring, otherwise there is an extra job for us of post-editing to weed out grammar errors, etc. Although it is true that there tend to be more exceptions to this principle with English, as it's a widely-spoken international language. But, in any case, don't let that discourage you from contributing to English content if it attracts you more than working with your mother tongue. More info about localization work is here [1].
