[libreoffice-website] Screenshots and wiki screenshot repository suggestion
As I read through the messages on various lists, it looks like we have gotten to the point where many tasks involve the addition of screenshots either on the website or documentation. I can also foresee the need for screenshots in some marketing materials (video production, slideshows etc.). I am just putting this out as a couple of ideas to help ease the "search for that missing screenshot" statement ... 1. I would propose we open a wiki screenshot page/repository where screenshots appearing on the website/documentation would be kept, all properly categorized and annotated so that if any of these groups need a copy of a screenshot they could go to the wiki screenshot repository where there may be a copy for them to use. This could ease the amount of doubling of work where maybe one screenshot has already been created for one group and could be used for the other group needing it. It could also be used for NL groups. 2. If some member(s) were interested in specialising in taking screenshots for the project, they could very much work as a "screenshot production department" where people would put in their requests for screenshots and they would produce these on request. This could perhaps ease the work of content producers who are not really interested in the artform of screenshots. These members may also be in the position to create corresponding NL screenshots from these requests pre-empting their need by the NL groups. Just an idea.

This sounds like a horrible duplication. Better to organize the screenshots into appropriate folders in the CMS in the first place... > This could ease the amount of doubling of work where maybe one screenshot > has already been created for one group and could be used for the other group > needing it. It could also be used for NL groups. Any "repository" or "index" that must be maintained manually is creating *lots* of double work, and is doomed to get outdated very, very quickly, so I strongly suggest to /not/ try to setup a separate category/listing in the wiki. Either do it automatically, or don't try to do it. > 2.

This however would be doable of course. ciao Christian -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to website+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/website/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
