Jamie,
I will set up your account at ODFAuthors.

The Writer Guide needs you! The first job is to check the new features
lists for Writer v3.5 and v3.6 and decide which chapter each should go
into. (v3.5 is included here because the Writer Guide has not be
updated beyond v3.4.) The new features lists are here:
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/3-5-new-features-and-fixes/
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/3-6-new-features-and-fixes/

You can organise that information on this page:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development#Writer_Guide

Then just pick a chapter, download the ODT file, and start updating.
This section gives some general instructions, but may be out of date
in places:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development#User_Guides

BTW, a lot of info on the wiki is out of date and/or contradicts other
info. I've just returned from a long overseas trip and intend to work
on getting the wiki into order, and updating the chapters of the
Documentation Contributors' Guide, ASAP.

Hi Dan and everyone,

Thanks for the welcome.

I checked out the Documentation Wiki. It looks like the current work is
centered around updating various guides to  LibreOffice 3.6? Are there some
specific tasks that someone could suggest for me? I'd be most interested to
work on writing for Writer or Impress. I noticed some instructions that
mentioned I need to ask for an ODFAuthors username as well.

Thanks,
Jamie

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Contribution (Alfresco)

2012-08-19 Thread Florian Effenberger 

Hi David,

David Nelson wrote on 2012-08-03 20:56:


version of Alfresco Community). The server gets backed-up once a week
from my side, and Florian Effenberger was intending to run hourly
back-ups onto a separate TDF server - I'm not sure if he actually got
around to that, but I'm CC'ing him this mail just in case, because it
would be an excellent precaution to implement.


I just checked, and right now, the machine is *NOT* backupped as far as 
I can tell. I'm Cc'ing Alin, one of our sysadmins, who is in charge of 
the (new) backup system. Alin, can you check if rsnapshot still does a 
backup of media/alfresco.libreoffice.org and if so, disable it there and 
add it to BackupPC? Best is to discuss offlist with David for the 
required credentials.



Florian Effenberger, Cedric Bosdonnat and the TDF sysadmins have all
the info to log in and take action at OS level, as does Jeff Potts.


There's still one e-mail from you from early May (sic!) I didn't manage 
to work on yet. Sorry so much for that - I'm really swamped with work :/ :/


Florian
