Thanks, yes, I've just set my password. Yahoo had very considerately consigned 
a whole bundle of my emails to my spam folder, it seems to do this quite at 
random :-(

Gary has been registered on ODFAuthors. Gary, you should have received an email.

Tom, you do not have the permissions required to register people or
even see who is registered. The small group that maintains the
ODFAuthors website is NOT the LibreOffice Documentation Team, although
there is some overlap in people. Our sysadmin does not want very many
people to have admin access; we've had problems in the past with too
many cooks.

 Hi :)
 Gary did join last week sometime.

 I am not sure if he is already registered on ODFAuthors and i have no idea
 how to check.  My fault!  I should have learned much more about ODFAuthors
 - to register people and take the burden off otherwise already very busy
 people.

 We have been trying to hold off on proof-reading or reviewing the first few
 chapters of Base because he'd said he was keen to start on Base.  It's one
 (of many) reason why Peter G jumped in to doing the Forms chapter
 straight-away.
 Apols and regards from
 Tom :)

 Hey Gary,

 Great to have you volunteering! So I believe you'll want to check out:
 https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/7/74/Producing-LO-userguides.pdf

 If you go to the How to Review a Chapter section - I believe that's
 where the documentation team is at in the process. There are several
 chapters still needing reviewed. If you haven't already set up and
 ODFAuthor account, please let us know (preferably in a new email thread).


 Best,
 Joel

[libreoffice-documentation] review help

2014-09-19 Thread Gary Collins
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
