Hi Paul, We each upload our individual drafts of the chapters. To identify whose draft it is, the file name is laid out as guide name and chapter, followed by initials and date. For example my draft has been uploaded with the file name GS6001-Introducing_LibreOffice_DCB_20170803.odt so yours might be GS6001-Introducing_LibreOffice_PF_20170804.odt. When each member of the current team has completed their part of a chapter the individual submissions can be pulled together in a single file and reviewed as a complete chapter. In the past one author has worked on the entire chapter of a guide (draft or review) and then uploaded it for further review/revision by another author. That process has worked reasonably well in terms of guide accuracy, but has to some degree slowed down the guide production speed. With the GS Guide for 6.0 we are trying/testing a different approach in an attempt to find out if there are alternative methods that work for all of us, without placing an excessive burden on any one author. What we are trying here might seem to be a bit piecemeal, but we need to find a way of speeding up guide production to keep better pace with the software's development and meet the needs of our users. It occurs to me that some members of the team might not be familiar with wiki editing and may find it confusing as to how/where to add their entries to the "Status of tasks" on https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development/User_Guide_Tasks#Status_of_tasks_-_GS_-_LO_v6.0 page. If you, or any member of the team, would find it helpful, I am willing to scratch together a mini-tutorial about this, just let me know.
