I know the focus is on the big user guides at the moment, but I'd like to start a discussion about the smaller publications.
Currently, some "how-tos" and "tutorials" are provided as ODF/PDF (finished items on the Publications wiki page, drafts on Wish List), while others are formatted as wiki pages. For ODF/PDF files, there is no indication on the Publications page or in the filename to identify the version of LibreOffice targeted. In addition, some tutorials area just links to the OpenOffice.org wiki (or other sites), or to files that have been re-uploaded to the TDF wiki at some point in the past. Questions for discussion follow. 1. Is there currently a meaningful distinction between "how-to" and "tutorial"? If not, I have a partially worked out proposal which I may post here later. 2. Should existing files be renamed to reflect the LO version, the version of the document, etc.? The user guides seem to have fairly consistent file names (in particular recent versions), though I haven't yet come across any info stipulating a format. 3. Is there a valid reason to host PDFs from OOo and other sites locally? Or should they be replaced with links to the original page so that users are automatically directed to the latest version? 4. Should old tutorials and how-tos be discarded if current user guides essentially cover the topic? I can imagine a gray area where the user guide is almost but not quite an adequate replacement, in which case the user guide could be updated and then the tutorial discarded. --Kenneth -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: documentation+unsubscr...@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
