Hello everyone! I read the new version of Chapter 2 (Producing LO Guides) prepared by Peter for the Contributor's Guide. I did not make any changes to the document, but instead added a few comments with suggestions.
The commented version is in the Work in Progress folder and is named *2-ProducingLOGuides-PS-RL-20201214.odt* In my honest opinion, I think the proposed changes in the structure and the new contents added to the chapter are a step in the right direction. From the standpoint of a new contributor, I think that this new version is more straightforward and addresses the main questions and mistakes that newcomers make. I really liked that the discussion between "updating" and "reviewing" a chapter was brought to the beginning of Chapter 2. As for the proposed change in the versioning system (using sequential numbers instead of dates), I tend to agree with this new approach. We actually do not use the date values and I think that sequential numbers will look clearer and will be enough for our internal control.
