Hi Daniel, :-) I've added you as an author on the English/main site. Content-wise, at the moment, the Features and Why sections of the site need development. Are you an experienced and knowledgeable LibreOffice user? Or what else are you interested in, as regards the website team? David Nelson

I'm somewhat experienced with LO. I've used Open Office daily for around two years and LO for 2 or 3 months so far. I wouldn't consider myself a power user - mostly I just take notes with Writer. I do follow LO development quite a bit though, reading the Document Foundation planet and following the

Yep, that works with me. I'm currently setting up my development environment so by tomorrow I should be (hopefully) ready to get started. On Tue, Jan 25, 2011 at 11:21 PM, David Nelson wrote: > Hi Daniel, :-) > > On Wed, Jan 26, 2011 at 12:10, Daniel Neel wrote: > > > I generally enjoy cleaning

Hi Daniel, :-) After a think, I'd like to propose that you work on the Features/Writer page first, if you agree. My idea is that the page needs reviewing to see if it really covers Writer as well as possible, and that major individual features of writer deserve sub-pages of their own: styles, inde

Ok here's a quick preliminary page structure I set up by browsing other feature listings, help content, and such. Please let me know if you think of anything to add, remove, or reorder. I also hope to include attractive screenshots, likely under each section, to demonstrate the features in action.

Hi Daniel, :-) Your plan looks *really great*. Go for it! ;-) Just to give you some advice about screenshots, based on what I've done: The project prefers screenshots done under Linux, or maybe Mac, but prefers not to use screenshots done under Windows (due to possible copyright issues). I've d

No problem, thank you everyone for the help so far! :) I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 currently using the default theme (Ambiance). I'll make a note of the image sizes as well and likely follow them. Also I should note that the work I'm doing is on a new sub-page of Features/Writer named "Writer rewrite"
