[libreoffice-documentation] Introducing Myself - Bala
Hi, My name is Balaharipreetha Muthu(Bala). I had been implementing network protocol modules for network processors in proprietary language between 2005-2010(mostly for Nokia). I also did the integration, testing and all associated documentation like requirements, design, test plans and user manuals. Since 2010, I have been at home taking care of my kids. I am looking for a job as a Technical Writer now. I am here to gain experience, learn as much as possible and contribute my best in documentation. Thank you for onboarding me into this opportunity. warm regards, Balaharipreetha Muthu(She/Her) -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: documentation+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
[libreoffice-documentation] Introducing myself
Hi My name is Luke Kendall. I'm now a full-time author (sci-fi/fantasy), for the last four years. My previous working background (35yrs) was as a programmer, mainly C. Areas were computer graphics (mainly design programs for artists in business contexts), user interfaces, user experience, typesetting, fonts. Also some documentation. Perhaps more significantly, my wife, before she died, was a PhD in English and had an extremely successful career as a technical writer, focusing mainly on User Guides. She was successful in that every contract she had produced guides that were wildly appreciated by their target audiences. We both shared a deep interest in good documentation - and I was fortunate to be present at her first steps as she entered the field, and saw first hand how she interacted with the users of the powerful and loved sign-writing system the company I worked for was developing at the time. It was eye-opening to see how much difference a good explanation of how to use the system made, to the end users. I have worked closely with many technical writers and user experience engineers over the years, as well as working closely and directly with users of the design systems I and my teams have developed, to get feedback on usability, desired features, manage expectations, and help users work with the (often complex and powerful) design systems. I personally have used a wide range of word processors. (Pages on NeXTstep, FrameMaker on Solaris; troff/MM, TeX/Latex, LyX, MacWrite, Word in its many generations, OpenOffice and LibreOffice - in pretty much all its generations since StarOffice - WPS, TextMaker, and others I've definitely forgotten.) I must state upfront that my fiction writing takes up the great majority of my time, so I won't be able to contribute as much as I would like. That's assuming you even wanted me to! I've dipped my toe in here for several reasons: - Self-interest: I work under Linux, and use LO for writing and producing my books (along with Calibre and Scribus). - Despite suffering stress and lost time and wasted effort due to problems in my use of LO, I still like it best. - A passion for free and open software. - A desire to help make LO better. - A recent specific problem that led me to a specific issue I wish to improve. - Fruitful discussions about that issue with Olivier Hallot, and at https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/21875/writer-clarification-needed-about-character-attributes - Browsing the documentation ML archives (just a little) That's probably too much for an introduction. I'll leave it at that.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Introducing Myself to LibreOffice Mailing List
Hi Tommy, in case you have no favorite part, what about writing about a new feature? E.g. write a little HowTo in the Wiki, so that it can be linked from the ReleaseNotes? https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/6.1#Signature_Lines Or explain how to use "Remote Files" (menu File > Open Remote...) with an example of a concrete remote service? Or if you are looking for a larger topic, introduce the user to LibreOffice Online. You do not know anything about it? Then examine the existing texts. A good opportunity to notice, where they have shortcomings. But I'm not a regular member of the documentation team. So perhaps others have better ideas.

Well the edits would be reviewed before being accepted, so it would be up to the reviewer to judge if it should be added or not, which is no different than how it happens now on gerrit. - how would that be merge in Pootle to be available for the next versions? The proposal wouldnt change the current behaviour of how things are managed in pootle, unless the english help is being managed there.

So as another option, I'm just evaluating online xml editors; eg. http://holloway.co.nz/doctored/ looks promising - presents the xml in a way that it looks more like a document than xml. It's yet to see how much configurable it is (but I think it could accept the helpcontent's DTD), and how hard it will be to connect that to pushing to gerrit. Seems interesting and it could provide the type of facility for advanced users mentioned in my proposal. Either way, there some good possibilities & we'll keep you updated.

Hi :) Welcome in! People are currently using the ODFAuthors website to store chapters at the various stages towards completion.

My names are Evans Ikua, from Nairobi, Kenya. I have been an Open Source Evangelist for over 8 years now and am involved in FOSS advocacy in Kenya where am the Chairman of the Linux Professional Association of Kenya. I am also involved in FOSS capacity building and community development initiatives across Africa working with FOSSFA (the FOSS Foundation for Africa). Since last year, I am the Master Affiliate for the LPI in East Africa. I have been involved in developing documentation for LPI Certification under the ict@innovation programme as the Lead Editor. For more information on this programme, please see the programme website here: http://www.ict-innovation.fossfa.net/ I am very interested to participate in the LibreOffice activities, especially in marketing and Documentation since that is where I know I can play an effective role. I am therefore happy to be in this community and will do my best to play an active role and move FOSS forward. I believe LibreOffice has a very important role to play in the adoption of FOSS. Thanks for the time and I look forward to fruitful engagements. Evans On Sun, Jan 22, 2012 at 11:31 PM, John Smith clicks...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: All the graphics should be in place now.

[libreoffice-documentation] Introducing Myself - Joining Your Efforts
Hi All, I'd like to join the efforts to document LibreOffice, and humbly request a user account for the Alfresco platform. I'm located in Vancouver, BC, and have a BA. I have experience writing online help, training materials, proposals and a corporate blog. I look forward to helping however I can.

[libreoffice-documentation] Introducing myself.
I have been working with ODF Authors for some time, mostly as a copy editor for the OpenOffice.org 3 User Guides, but I no longer have OOo on my computer. Instead I am running LibreOffice 3.4.2 under Crux Linux. I would therefore like to switch to editing LO documentation.

That takes you to the page for that file where there is a link to upload a new version of the file. Ron This is great. So it sounds like our nascent workflow is this: 1) Work toward completion of 'Getting Started' documentation: a. as reviewer/publisher refer to http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development b. see a file thats state is 'no' under 'Review Completed'. c. check out document by placing username in checkout column. d. Download latest version of document from http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation e. Review document, editing as needed. f. upload document at http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Special:Upload g. check document back in by removing username from 'Review Completed' column on Development page. h. Change file state to 'yes' in Development matrix. h. Alternatively, as editor/publisher follow steps b through h, changing 'Review Completed' for 'Agree to Publish'. 2) Iron out workflow, or barring that, move on to 'Writer Guide'. If this is correct, or correct with edits, perhaps we could place this information on http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Teamwork with a nice sign up for account button, in hopes of making it easy for others to get on board and typing. -- jdc -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/documentation/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

Hal I think we should use change tracking (it's already turned on on the files I've uploaded). It really helps in the review. I agree that we don't want to have all the changes in the final versions. After they're finalized, we should accept all changes and post those new files.
