[libreoffice-documentation] review help
Hi, I wouldn't mind helping out for the review for base if you havent already got enough. I've had very little experience using base (or any database) and I might learn something myself whilst being of service to others. I don't have oodles of time, i've got quite a few things on the go - also i've got limited access to internet at home - only on my phone - but access in the office where I work 2.5 days/week, but I'm sure I could find some time to do this. If you think I could be of help, do let me know! /Gary -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: documentation+unsubscr...@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: Documentation Team needs reviewers for 5 chapter of Writer
Hope I got started correctly. per this link https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development the Download a file for review section I changed the state of Chapter 16 of the Writer Guide. Step 4 of the instruction reads... Change the file's status: Click State: Pending review and select Retract. (It changes to State: Internal draft.) State was actually Externally visible. However Retract was an option on the list and after I selected Retract the state did change to Internal Draft. -Alan On Fri, Sep 19, 2014 at 1:54 AM, Jean Weber jeanwe...@gmail.com wrote: I'll get your ODFAuthors account set up.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: Documentation Team needs reviewers for 5 chapter of Writer
Looked there and thought about updating it but also wondered if it might be auto updated based on the checkout. I thought the idea of checkout is to be sure no one else would checkout at the same time. Kind of like a file lock. So by doing the checkout others wouldn't grab that chapter (wouldn't be able to actually) thinking they would do the work. Anyway thanks for doing the update. It's all a learning process for me. -Alan On Fri, Sep 19, 2014 at 5:21 PM, Tom Davies tomc...@gmail.com wrote: Hi :) I'm not sure but this wiki-page might be good to update; https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development/UserGuideTasks#Status_of_tasks_-_WG_-_LO_v4.2 Do we still need to show people outside of ODFAuthors (such as me) what the current status is of the various chapters? I'd kinda appreciate it but i might be alone and this is the first time i've looked at the page in years. It looks useful so i updated it for you jic Regards from Tom :) On 19 September 2014 13:19, Alan B abo...@gmail.com wrote: Hope I got started correctly. per this link https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development the Download a file for review section I changed the state of Chapter 16 of the Writer Guide.

[libreoffice-documentation] Writer 4.2 Guide Chapter 12 for review
The updated Chapter 12, ToCs, Indexes, Bibliographies is available for review, along with other chapters. http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/writer-guide/drafts-v4.2/ This completes the draft book. As soon as chapters have been reviewed, and revised as necessary, I will publish the chapters and compile the full book. Please note that any major changes suggested (that is, improvements rather than correcting errors) will probably be postponed to the next update of the book. Improving the book is a very good thing to do, but not at this stage of production... unless nobody (except me) cares whether this book gets done in a reasonable time or not. It's already very late. --Jean -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: documentation+unsubscr...@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
