[libreoffice-documentation] Alfresco site update
Hi guys, There is at least a little "good news" to tell: the docs team's content is available for download by browsing the "CMIS repository" link on meda.libreoffice.org. Thanks to Christian Lohmaier for managing to restore access to it: > Hi David, *, > > recovered access to the site by throwing away indexes and having > alfresco regenerate them. > > tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/repository.properties > index.recovery.mode=FULL > > Note however that alfresco still generates errors (like > smtp.example.com, not finding some config files,...) I still have not yet been able to properly log into the site, but I'll be working on this on Sunday. Once Alfresco is properly up and running again, the docs team can take decisions about where it wants to store its content in future. I'll be downloading the existing content before taking any other action. I'll post back about this over the weekend. -- David Nelson -- 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] Alfresco site offline again
The Alfresco site appears to be down again. I think I have all the latest Writer Guide chapters, so I'll continue to do screenshots as I have the time, and upload them when the site it back again. (I've done Chapters 1, 2, and 3, but the site went down before I could get Ch3 uploaded.) When I had the chance, I should have taken a copy of all the Calc Guide chapters that Barbara had rebranded. Not that I'm likely to find time to work on them before the site's up again.

No one on the English docs team seems to be interested in using the ODFAuthors website, so it's probably not worth your time to put files there... at least not until the salvaged files have been sorted out, as I see Hal is doing.

I believe the ones with no letter are the most recent versions of the docs, however there are no guarantees and the only way to verify would be to have the most recent documenter vet the file. Also, I don't believe there is no way to force Alfresco into accepting versions of a file, so we will most likely take the most recent and begin again with the versioning.

Hi, I'm new here, so I may be breaking all kinds of protocol respoding with this reply all to David and floeff, but just trying to help. In addition to being a tech writer and some other things, I am a documentation hoarder, so I downloaded the following, which I will happily send to whomever, wherever, to get them back on the air if that will be of help. All were downloaded between approx. 23:35 and 23:39 EST, Sa., 05 March, 2011 (approx 04:35 to 04:39 UDT, Sun. 06 March 2011 if my conversion is correct): 0100GS3-GettingStartedLibO.odt 0101GS3-IntroducingLibO.odt 0102GS3-SEttingUpLibO.odt 0103GS3-StylesAndTemplates.odt 0104GS3-GettingStartedWithWriter.odt 0105GS3-GettingStartedWithCalc.odt 0106GS3-GettingStartedWithImpress.odt 0107GS3-GettingStartedWithDraw.odt 0108GS3-GettingStartedWithBase.odt 0109GS3-GettingStartedWithMath.odt 0110GS3-PrintingExportingEmailing.odt 0112GS3-CreatingWebPages.odt 0113GS3-GettingStartedWithMacros.odt 0114GS3-CustomizingLibO.odt 0115GS3-KeyboardShortcuts.odt 0116GS3-OpenSourceStandardsDoc.odt Also: LibO3_3_chapter_template.ott ([16:42 EST] 21:42 UDT, Mon. 7 March), and LibreOffice-TechWriterDocPlan.odt ([16:43 EST] 21:43 UDT, Mon. 7 March) I hope these resources will be of help.

Hindsight is wonderful but presumably the back-ups fell foul of the same problem as the original as does sometimes happen. See the new Enterprise where Commander Tucker is unhappy to only have only 1 backup for a 5 part system that can run on just 1 cylinder (in a pinch). I imagine David has been "sweating buckets" trying to recover or rebuild and most people have probably been pitying him while trying to find their own back-ups to help him.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Alfresco site offline?
Another "good news" is that David is okay. I don't pay much attention to news or weather reports from the Philippines, but I was beginning to wonder if some natural or political disaster had caused something more awful than a borked Alfresco installation. Too many earthquakes, cyclones and whatnot have been going on in the western Pacific lately. Earlier, I wrote: > I am such a packrat that I probably have copies of the latest iteration > of every English-language chapter of the LibreOffice user guides [...] > So if you're unable to recover them from backup, we can probably > replace them without too much drama after the folder hierarchy > is rebuilt and our user accounts are recreated. I realise that won't bring back the earlier versions of the files. For OOo I have copies of all the older files as well, but as I've not been actively working on LibO docs, I haven't done that. --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/documentation/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

Some of those, AFAIK, have not been worked on since I put them there; and the Getting Started chapters are on the wiki and, again AFAIK, have not been modified on Alfresco. If I don't have everything, others might; in particular, whoever last edited a chapter might have a copy on their computer. So if you're unable to recover them from backup, we can probably replace them without too much drama after the folder hierarchy is rebuilt and our user accounts are recreated. This might be a good time to consider keeping a backup set of the working files on the ODFAuthors site and/or the LibreOffice wiki as well, although ensuring those are the latest files would be extra work that might get overlooked. --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/documentation/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

Hi guys, Sorry, I'm very tardy in replying, I've been absent a few days, and have been somewhat occupied, as you will learn. I've got some good news and some bad news for you. First, the bad news. After having done some particularly-inspired configuration work on Alfresco, it came crashing to a halt and died. This was the admin's human error, not Alfresco's. All attempts to fix the problem over the past few days have been fruitless to date. If anyone is curious and wants to download a backup of the crashed site, you can get it at [1] - a juicy 759 Mb. It contains everything from the system: database, file system, the currently-inaccessible data, etc. There is a completely new and working Alfresco installation on http://alfresco.libreoffice.org and http://documentation.libreoffice.org, but all user accounts are going to be have to be recreated.. I will do this as from Friday. After that, I'll start rebuilding everything. But I currently have no assurance of being to recover *any* data. Oh, did I mention good news? Again, I should point out that this was 100% human error and no malfunction of Alfresco's. Alfresco has proven so far to be extremely stable and reliable on the server, and the performances are now quite reasonable. This disaster happened in the same way that a perfectly-working car will drive into a wall if you point it in that direction. Now that the domain names have rolled over to the libreoffice.org domain, I'm planning to contact the Alfresco project and try and get them involved as a partner in configuring and customizing the site. For the next 24-48 hours, I'm busy and won't be heard much, but I'll be working on things over the weekend. You can imagine how humbly I offer you all my apologies.

Not realising I had been kicked out, I tried to do something, was sent to the login page, logged in, and was *NOT* returned to the page I had been on; I was sent to the first page.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Alfresco: site domain name news
If we could contact Olivier Hallot at the SC - BrOffice subsector - and ask him if he wants to try migrating the Documentation Pt-Br workflow to Alfresco, we may get more support for your efforts, please try to contact him directly ...

Just for the next week, or until Jeremy or Samphan suggest otherwise (whichever is the sooner), I'd suggest putting documents in "Company Home > LibreOffice Documentation > Drafts". This will put them at the beginning stage of Samphan's workflow, and we can start feeding them through. Or else, you can put material in your own workspace. You can create folders there, if you want. In that case, we will move it into the main workflow. Sorry about the confusing situation. We will get things sorted out quickly. > Also, can the timeout on logins be changed?

[libreoffice-documentation] Alfresco site
I'm confused about where to put things on the Alfresco site. Within the LibreOffice space, there is a space for Writer Guide 3.3, but also spaces for different stages of development, and there's also something named Catalog. Where do we put things? Is Catalog picking up info from elsewhere on the site? (Kind of looks like it.) I know we've been using Alfresco as a sandbox of sorts, so is it still at that stage or has some preferred usage emerged? Also, can the timeout on logins be changed? I get really irritated having to log on several times a day (and then having to find my way back to wherever I was) because I'm using the site only intermittently. Or is there some usage issue with inactive users?

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Alfresco: site domain name news
Hi, :-) The SC decided to give me a remit to operate the Alfresco site on my server as part of LibreOffice's infrastructure (SC confcall of Jan 21). Therefore the site will soon be running under a libreoffice.org sub-domain (probably alfresco.libreoffice.org) as opposed to the current documentation.traduction.biz name. Nobody needs to do anything, it will all happen transparently (probably over the next week or so), and documentation.traduction.biz will automatically forward to the new domain. So please do feel encouraged to carry on working on the Alfresco site, and to start new projects there. Notably, it would be great if Jeremy and Samphan can carry on with developing the docs workflow there. A couple of people from l10n have already been showing interest in Alfresco, and there will probably soon be the opportunity to develop special workflows for localization tasks, for any l10n people interested in using Alfresco. Hopefully, Sophie Gauthier will get involved in this, too. Me, my free time is still taken up with the libreoffice.org website for the next few days. After that, I'll be pulling back a lot from the website, and will be focussing on the LibreOffice documentation project and developing the Alfresco site.

It IS important to me that there is a herd and it moves to a place they are happy. FWIW, I installed an alfresco testbed on my machine over the weekend and found that it is written in Java, uses MySQL as a backend, and prefers to use OpenOffice for editing. -- jdc -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/documentation/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

I would say that it makes no difference where it is "Official" or not, OOo manuals are produced working from a non-official web site. If you wish to keep the site then do as you wish. I am sure it will not matter to those working from it. My 2cents.
