[libreoffice-documentation] Alfresco site update
Hi guys, There is at least a little good news to tell: the docs team's content is available for download by browsing the CMIS repository link on meda.libreoffice.org. Thanks to Christian Lohmaier for managing to restore access to it: Hi David, *, recovered access to the site by throwing away indexes and having alfresco regenerate them. tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/repository.properties index.recovery.mode=FULL Note however that alfresco still generates errors (like smtp.example.com, not finding some config files,...) I still have not yet been able to properly log into the site, but I'll be working on this on Sunday. Once Alfresco is properly up and running again, the docs team can take decisions about where it wants to store its content in future. I'll be downloading the existing content before taking any other action. I'll post back about this over the weekend. -- David Nelson -- 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] Re: Alfresco site update
Hi :) Good work chap :) Thanks. People are settled into using ODFAuthors right now and there has been a lot of work on quite a few chapters. So, this is a good time to upgrade Alfresco if you want and check the upgrades are working with no more wrinkles. I think you are saying that you have already done that but i'm not certain. I can dig out the email address of the other chap that was keen to learn to help with Alfresco so that we can see if he is still keen. I haven't tested my login yet so i will give that a try soon too. Congrats, thanks and regards from Tom :) --- On Fri, 24/2/12, David Nelson li...@traduction.biz wrote: From: David Nelson li...@traduction.biz Subject: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: Alfresco site update To: documentation@global.libreoffice.org Cc: Christian Lohmaier lohma...@googlemail.com, floeff flo...@documentfoundation.org Date: Friday, 24 February, 2012, 11:41 Hi, Further update with good news: On Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 7:30 PM, David Nelson li...@traduction.biz wrote: I still have not yet been able to properly log into the site, but I'll be working on this on Sunday.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: Alfresco site update
Hi Tom, guys, The only other thing I can add is that I have tried hard to involve other people in the administration of the VPS that Alfresco is installed on, and of the Alfresco platform itself. That includes people from the LibreOffice project (notably the TDF sysadmin team), people from the Alfresco project, people from Apache OO.o and technical support that I've paid for privately. It is not a satisfactory situation to have an important team resource such as an ECM system dependent on one single person's management. If it is decided to use Alfresco in the future, I'm firmly hoping that TDF sysadmins and others will share the admin workload. This is essential for reliable, trouble-free operation. -- David Nelson -- 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] Re: Alfresco site update
Hi :) My opinion doesn't really count as i don't do any of the editing. It would be good to hear from the people doing the work. However, i think it would be good to return to the Alfresco method. It is a bright, fresh interface that could help the translations teams. We do still have wiki-pages describing how to use it. Some of it has been commented-out temporarily but it's easy to reinstate. Moving back would mean that we have a fairly recent back-up on another site so even if we stay at ODFAuthors i think it is a good idea to get all the updated chapters back over to Alfresco just in case ODFAuthors goes down or becomes inacessible.

[libreoffice-documentation] May I introduce myself...
Hello, I'm interested in getting started as a documentation volunteer contributor. As a former newspaper journalist with more than 10 years' experience, my strengths would be in writing, editing, proofreading, researching, etc. I've been using OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice for several years, mainly Writer and Calc. While I have little formal training in a technical field, I do have experience explaining complex and technical issues to a general audience. I'm very interested in giving something back to the community that keeps this worthwhile enterprise moving forward. I'd be happy to contribute in any way you think is appropriate to my background. After reading the Contributor's Guide and this forum, I'm not clear whether you're using ODFAuthors or Alfresco, or both, so some guidance would be appreciated. Thank you, David Blymire (pronounced with long-i sounds and emphasis on the first syllable.) -- 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] May I introduce myself...
Hi :) An excellent question. At the moment people are using ODFAuthors and have been for a couple of months. They used to use the Alfresco place and may well return but the decision has not been made yet. So, ODFAuthors for now. Oh, welcome in btw!! Excellent to have another strong team member. Hopefully our leader Jean or perhaps someone else will give you a login for both sites so that you can help choose.

We'll leave other enhancements (structure, wording) for the v3.5 version of those books. (We've been doing incremental improvements with each revision.)
