Putting them on youtube will just make the critics say that peertube can't 'hack it as a platform'. In terms of Youtube I think some of the payment policy has changed on you tube too. I am not sure how adverts are generated on youtube but the last thing we want are:- Probably the only people that understand how adverts are generated, are the people who write the algorithm software that YouTube uses. Inappropriate advertising Advertising for 'other' office products that the algorithm may come up with, GoogleDocs or MSOffice for example. You are guaranteed that that will happen. More than once I've seen YouTube reviews that completely trashed the product, to have half a dozen adds for the product being displayed, during the review. I can't see Google liking rival products, let alone free ones that respect user freedom and don't collect data on users. As the TDF has sponsors, is it possible to: a) Run our own instance of peertube b) Stitch very short adverts from sponsors on to videos c) upload or find another way for sponsors to get a mention so that it The standard way of doing that, is listing sponsors as part of the credits. jonathon -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: documentation+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

Paul Ok just had a quick look again, so page 1 is the default portrait, page2 of my test document is now landscape and page 3 is back to portrait, however I had to switch it to *default*. So from a user perspective, if users are looking for portrait as they would find in say a print dialogue or even in the format --> page --> page tab then surely the dialog under insert --> more breaks --> manual breaks, could easily say portrait in the list. It may just make it easier, perhaps also in this have a option that takes you to the format --> page dialogue. May just help users out a little. I feel am pretty good on things like this, so in a way (as with my adding things up in a table query) I tend to sometimes put a user with no knowledge / experience hat on and try and take that viewpoint. I know that some users need things set out in such a way it is just obvious, so while I would normally go experimenting and looking round, they don't or won't do that, so they either give up or are scared if the press the wrong button they will mess things up. Just a few ideas Now that I know how to do this, I will make a video to illustrate as it is usually more useful than written explanations.

Adding a section on how to change the page orientation, the method

a document so I get, for example
portrait
portrait
landscape
portrait
In LaTeX I would just use \begin{landscape} and \end{landscape} along
side the lscape package.
Should be as easy to do this in Libreofice.
>Insert >More Breaks >Manual Break >Page Break
select "Landscape" in the drop down list.
Then when you want to switch back to Portrait pages, follow the same
procedure, setting the page style that you want to follow Landscape.

Ok, I got a 2nd page to go to landscape then following the same
procedure to make page 3 portrait, I can't find the option for portrait

[libreoffice-documentation] Wiki articles JoinDocTeam & Cloud
I think it would be a good idea to somehow synchronise these two articles: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/DocumentationTeamInfo/JoinDocTeam https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Cloud I'm not sure, if there needs to be this separate Cloud article. Why not replace the last section of JoinDocTeam with its contents? Translations could be copied over.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Page Orientation
That’s Default Page Style. You can see what style is in use in the Status
Bar at the bottom of the screen. I recommend that you read at least the
chapters on Styles & Templates and Writer in the Getting Started Guide to
learn some basics about the program.
