[libreoffice-documentation] Team Meeting
Hello Everybody, Can we reschedule the next team meeting that is on 23th April 2020 1800 UTC to 23th April 2020 1300 UTC? That way I could be able to attend the meeting. If it is too early then it can start at any time between 1300 UTC to 1500 UTC.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Coordination
Addendum: if someone else with the interest and experience/skills would like to take GS or WG - please do! I might be of more value to the Docs project doing QA on all the books, for language, layout, use of styles, other consistency issues, etc etc. Especially the compiled books, which typically need work.

[libreoffice-documentation] Template Changer and Extended Search & Replace extensions?
(I may have the name of the second extension incorrect.) Do either of the extensions work with LO 6.4? The last time I tried them (over a year ago, perhaps 2), they didn’t work for me, but I didn’t test on all three o/s. If they don’t work, we should drop any reference to them in our Contributors Guide and any user guide (GS, WG) that might mention them.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Review of Writer Guide Chapter 2 - Working with Text
Hi Shravani, I have reviewed your file. Good job, overall. Thanks! Glad to see you caught some important changes from v6.0 to v6.4 (or in some cases maybe errors in the v6.0 chapter). I accepted most of your changes and left a lot of comments, including replies to your comments and questions. Some figures need to be replaced, and one or two things need to be researched.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Issuing a book
Assuming you mean a back-of-the-book alphabetical index: my short answer is no. Here’s why. Many (perhaps most) chapters in most books are incompletely or poorly indexed*, if at all. Therefore IMO having no index Is better than having a bad one - and an index isn’t really necessary in a PDF, though it’s highly desirable in a printed book and can be useful in PDF if good use has been made of synonyms. Also, unless a book index has been reviewed and edited by one person, it’s usually very inconsistent and/or includes many irrelevant entries. *And some still include entries for old terminology, going back as far as the OOo incarnation of the book. With our rapid development times and lack of people (especially people with indexing skills), I think it’s impractical. OTOH, if someone has the time to do it without delaying release of a book, it’s definitely a nice-to-have. BTW, I tried to recruit indexers, but they all fled from the requirement to use OOo/LO embedded index entries. [My opinion, based on over 15 years volunteering with OOo and LO documentation.] Jean On Sun, 12 Apr 2020 at 22:01 Steve Fanning wrote: > Thanks Jean. > > When master documents are produced, is it preferable to include an index > wherever possible? > > Regards, > > Steve > > > > -Original Message- > From: Jean Weber > Sent: Sunday, April 12, 2020 10:42 AM > To: Stephen Fanning > Cc: LibreOffice Documentation > Subject: Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Issuing a book > > OK, found my previous note.

How far would you go translateing the databases into another language than English.

How should you start with translation of databases?? any tips??

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] BASE GUIDE CORDINATOR
Hello Oliver, Thank you for your message. Currently, the base guide has been translated from its german version. I have translated all the chapters. I think now that we will have a base guide 6.2, we english contributors can update it for version 6.4 and further versions by ourselves. We do not need to translate from german anymore. We can take content from german handbauch time to time as Robert is much better than me in base but I do no think that we should be completely dependent on only the german version of base guide for translating into English. 4 chapters are left to be reviewed for version 6.2. After that it would be ready to be published. Out of those two, Dan and Drew have taken 2 for their review. Randolph, a new volunteer, has agreed to review the left two. So I think that base guide 6.2 is going to be published soon. After that we can update it to version 6.4. There is not much to do as base has not changed much but I have decided to add some more information to it and update all the screenshots (the screenshots are a bit old) with the help of Rob.
