Thank you to everyone for your support of David's proposal for me to be team leader. I am honoured. However, after much thought, I am declining the invitation. I will continue to do some things, but only intermittently, and I do not want to accept responsibility for the things I think need to be done. What I want to do requires enough others contributing reliably and productively to get at least some jobs done. And we don't have enough productive people.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Vote: Elect Jean Weber as Documentation team lead
Hi :) Ouch. It is fair enough. I think one problem was Sun's mastery but it's good to hear that the problems we are having are not new. In England it is a particularly difficult time to recruit volunteers as a lot of charities are having their funding pulled away so they are all clamouring for volunteers too. Of course the top-down structure doesn't bode well for them either so like Sun they might have troubles too. None of which really helps Apols and regards from Tom :) --- On Thu, 10/11/11, Jean Weber jeanwe...@gmail.com wrote: From: Jean Weber jeanwe...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Vote: Elect Jean Weber as Documentation team lead To: documentation@global.libreoffice.org Date: Thursday, 10 November, 2011, 11:38 Also, after all these years I'm bored with the whole thing. --Jean On Thu, Nov 10, 2011 at 21:10, Jean Weber jeanwe...@gmail.com wrote: Thank you to everyone for your support of David's proposal for me to be team leader.

I think the logical place would be just before Deleting Sheets on page 17; that is, after the section titled Inserting new sheets. And yes, you'll need to write some text to go with it (unless the Calc Guide includes something you can reuse). Add a few words on sheet tab colors (get words from Calc Guide). Done on page 8 OK. Add a few words on total and subtotals? How much should be written? These are subjects which take more than a few words. Just a few words, and see below about combining with other info into a section on data analysis. Mention Pivot Tables (formerly DataPilot) and refer reader to Calc Guide. Where, exactly? I put this on page 35. That's good. You might say a little bit more than you've got in the draft. Maybe you can get some ideas or words from the first paragraph of Calc Guide Chapter 8? Also, mention that in LO 3.3 this feature is called DataPilot. After further reflection, I think perhaps a short section on data analysis, mentioning some of the methods Calc provides (with pivot tables as an important method), would be more useful in this chapter than just an item on PTs. The introductory section of Calc Guide Chapter 9 has some good ideas, and you can also mention consolidating data, subtotals, scenarios, other what if tools, goal seek, and solver. Just a few words on each. Let's tie together the basic data entry info earlier in this Getting Started chapter and offer to readers the idea that they can go further. Hmmm, I see the CG has subtotals in Chapter 9. BTW, references to other books are to chapters only (sometimes section headings), but never page numbers. Section titles should start with an -ing word, for consistency with the rest of the chapter and book. So, for example, Using pivot tables (capitalization not necessary). Add a few words on functions and formulas, refer reader to Calc Guide. Again, where? Do these go together in one section? I put these on page 35. Together in one section, yes. Page 35 is good. A bit more discussion, please. First two paragraphs of Calc Guide Ch7, slightly modified, could be useful. Based on these changes, I updated the TOC. Other things to do (as listed near the top of this section, https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development#Getting_Started_Guide ) 1) Use the Template Changer extension to apply the v3.4 chapter template (LO_3_4_chapter_template.ott, available from the Documentation Resources folder in Alfresco). [You may need to download and install the extension, then download and import the template into LO. Get it from http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/template-changer and put it anywhere on your computer, then follow instructions in http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/HowTo/install_extension ] You may also wish to review the relevant part of the GS chapter on styles and templates for how to use this extension. 2) Change arrows in menu paths to (to match most other books). 3) Ensure that feedback address on Copyright page shows documentation@global.libreoffice.org (global is missing in some chapters). 4) Check screenshots for changes. Some are definitely out of date, but I don't know which ones. Use silver/gray theme for any replacements needed. In many cases (Chapter 4,5,6,7) the component guide will contain a newer image that can be used in this book without necessity of recapturing/redoing. --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] LibO Documentation
Hi :) Translating is not a trivial word-for-word replacement. Some of the ideas and concepts might not make much sense and so there might be better ways of saying things so that they do make sense more easily. Some words have implications and nuances in some languages that they don't have in others. That is why Machine Translators (such as Google Translate) make such humorous gaffes sometimes.

Pardon me for being religious, but this parable does point out human frailties. It divides people into four groups: those who don't understand a situation at all; those who like the idea until something happens that they don't like; those who begin work on something but let other things get in their way to prevent completion; and those who actually accomplish something some more than others and some less. Such is the case with volunteers. People want someone to lead (read that do things for them) but seldom step up to doing things themselves as much as they should. Here is another religious reference. When Israel first neared their destination, they refused to go any further because of what 10 men had said. Talking about not following someone, the entire army (603550 men) with the exception of 2 men prepared to return to Egypt. I'm still amazed that a wiki page has been created in which we were suppose to discuss job descriptions for the team and only two have entered anything there. I posted my thoughts, and another person added my name at the beginning of my post. That has been it. Again, I have seen several +1 with no -1 in posts. But where are their thoughts on this wiki page? Who has said that they will take responsibility for a specific area of documentation? We are a group of individuals with talents. What is it that each one can do well? What are our areas of expertise? Who can we rely upon for help when we need it? One wiki page has a list of names, but nothing about these people as far what they can provide the the team. What is our commitment to the team? The main goal for what the team should be accomplishing has already been stated. But how well has the main goal been broken down into smaller goals that apply to the documents for each of the components of LO? Another wiki page diagrams the path a new document should take before it is published. So, who is going to take on the responsibility of revise a chapter or creating a new one? Who is going to review the chapters for clarity or correctness? Who is going to proofread them for grammar etc.? Who will make the final decision as to whether it should be published or not? I have a few more thoughts as well that I will post at a later time concerning what we should tell someone who wants do some technical writing. So of it are some things that I think I remember Jean writing a few years ago (around the time of or perhaps before the appearance of OOo 2.0). -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-documentation] how to type %
I refrained until now with my solution. This method (Insert - Special character) should be the best. One could go a bit further by making a list of whatever missing keyboard characters are desired and then get their numerical Unicode equivalents (there are a number of Unicode sources), which can easily be checked in the Special characters dialog box for a particular font in order to ascertain if that character is available for that font.
