[libreoffice-documentation] Draw Guide Chapter 8 Completely New Version
Hello The original Chap 08 Tips & Tricks in version LO3.4 has been deleted. It did not contain any tips or tricks, just instructions that have now been moved to the following chapters: Zoom and snap functions to Chap 03. Duplication to Chap 05. Color, drawing to scale, multiple layers and pages to Chap 09 Advanced Draw Techniques. With the deletion of Chap 08 Tips & Tricks, Chap 09 is renumbered to Chap 08 and Chap 10 is renumbered to Chap 09. File names are changed to reflect this change of chapter number. The name of this new Chapter 8 is now Connections, Flowcharts and Organization Charts and the file name is now DG3508-ConnectionsFlowchartsOrganizationCharts.odt I will be correcting cross references in the other chapters to reflect these changes. Please review and comment on these changes.

Forgot to add. One completely new Chap 8 is now in the Draw LO3.5 drafts folder waiting for review. I think the documentation page in the LO website will have to be changed slightly to accommodate these changes.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: Draw Guide Chapter 8 Completely New Version
Hi :) I think that when the wiki gets updated that automatically updates the official web-site's page too. The official page uses the same link as the wiki. Of course that is only going to work when updating existing chapters that have already been added to the official page. New versions, such as the 3.6.x haven't been added to the official page yet so updating them on the wiki doesn't spill over onto the official page. Errr, i think that's how it works? Hopefully that clarifies things but i tend to find i only confuse people and get it wrong too!

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Draw Guide Chapter 8 Completely New Version
Hi :) Hmmm, a tips&tricks might be useful but obviously not if it's empty! If the numbering changes then i can kinda deal with it on the wiki but it's not likely to be as tidy as i would like. If the tips&tricks is going to vanish completely then i would like to create a new page for archived¤t for the moment and then make it purely for archived after 3.6.x starts to appear on the official website's page Wiki is https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications Official is http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/ Base would appear on both for the moment. Ideally i would like to delay splitting the wiki until after the 3.6.x guides are linked to from the official page because then it would all be quite neat and wouldn't need to change much. However life doesn't always go the way we want right?

[libreoffice-documentation] Re: Draw Guide Chapter 8 Completely New Version
Hello Tom There are definitely no tips and tricks. The information contained in the LO3.4 Chap 8 Tips & Tricks was confusing and poorly written. When I started to upgrade it to LO3.5, I realised that all the information was just instructions on how to do things in Draw. I did discuss this with Jean and Jean did say OK to my suggestions. So the LO3.4 Chap 8 Tips & Tricks has been deleted and will not appear in LO.35 draw guide. The LO3.4 Chaps 9 and 10 are now LO3.5 Chaps 8 and 9. Hope that helps.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: Draw Guide Chapter 8 Completely New Version
Tom, the official website page (unlike the wiki) no longer lists individual chapters. We'll have to amend the wiki page; I have some ideas on how to do that with minimal or no confusion to visitors. I encourage you to NOT make any changes immediately, please.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: Draw Guide Chapter 8 Completely New Version

[libreoffice-documentation] [WIKI] wanted extensions
Hello, sorry for the crossposting, but I wanted to reach out to the wider community. Please *only* reply to webs...@global.libreoffice.org so we have the list in one place - thanks! As part of the new wiki setup, I'd also like to install some more extensions. If I recall, there have been numerous requests we couldn't fulfill so far, and now is the chance to do so. :-) So, if you have one extension you desperately need, please add it to this thread, so I can investigate and have a look! My clear preference is to use one of the extensions out of the WikiMedia-maintained repository. [1] Any other extension causes a lot of more work, so please think twice before requesting an extension not listed there. Also keep in mind that any extension creates a bit more load, so we should only install those that are really needed for production. For anything else, e.g. for trying out new extensions before deciding about them, I'll provide a "testbed" wiki soon. Thanks for your feedback ;) Florian [1] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=mediawiki/extensions.git;a=tree;h=refs/heads/master;hb=master -- Florian Effenberger, Chairman of the Board (Vorstandsvorsitzender) Tel: +49 8341 99660880 | Mobile: +49 151 14424108 The Document Foundation, Zimmerstr. 69, 10117 Berlin, Germany Gemeinnützige rechtsfähige Stiftung des bürgerlichen Rechts Legal details: http://www.documentfoundation.org/imprint -- 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
[libreoffice-documentation] Reorganising the Publications page on the wiki
Here is my opinion about reorganising the Publications page on the *wiki*. Please feel free to suggest a different approach. I think we should move the links for v3.3 and v3.4 to an archive page and keep v3.5 (and v3.6/v3.7 when we have them) on the main Publications page. For those books (such as the Writer Guide) that do not yet have a 3.5 version, we should keep the v3.4 chapters and books on the main Publications page and move them later. The website page is organised differently and need not concern us at this time. --Jean On Tue, Oct 2, 2012 at 1:42 PM, Tom Davies wrote: > Hi :) > Hmmm, a tips&tricks might be useful but obviously not if it's empty!

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Reorganising the Publications page on the wiki
Hi :) +1 That sounds neater for now and both pages (archive and normal) would continue to make sense as we move each branch across after making sure a newer one is always complete on the normal page. At first it might seem a bit weird to have a new page just for 1 set of guides but it will soon make sense.
