Re: [libreoffice-website] Documentation framework for LibreOffice?
Hi Andreas, On Sat, Oct 30, 2010 at 10:40 AM, Andreas Mantke ma...@gmx.de wrote: Hi all, the documentation for LibreOffice and OOo is currently created via wiki and the OOoAuthors.org site (a Plone CMS with a workflow). The finished documentations were currently published on OOoAuthors.org, the wiki and on the OOo-Website. I wonder, in which way we want to create documentation (howto, books etc.) for LibreOffice. Should we do that on the wiki or should we set up a framework (a CMS with a special workflow) at one of our resources. If we want to use a CMS, we had to decide, if we want to use Plone, which some of the documentation-contributors already know, or another CMS (Drupal, Alfresco etc.). I don't know at the moment, if the letter ones fullfill all of the needs of the contributors for documentation, because i only worked with Plone. I raise this topic on this list, because i want to discuss only the technical aspects first. If there is no need to think about another framework / CMS, because all needed features are available, then a discussion of this topic on the documentation list is unnecessary. I want only to know, if a CMS is projected for this topic and if it is planed about the available (or intended) features of that CMS. But i don't want to create a new CMS-war or something else ;-) May be we could discuss the needs on the documentation list, come back here with some details and see where they fit in the CMS discussion happening here. In my dreams, I would like to be able to use my translation tools (and my translation memory) to deal with the documentation, but may be this is not true for the other teams. Would you like to open this discussion on the documentation list?

I don't really have an idea about how the workflow works in plone, and what the requirements are, but I can say that when the originating document format (the format that is worked with) is not HTML, then silverstripe is not suitable (not out of the box that is). I want only to know, if a CMS is projected for this topic and if it is planed about the available (or intended) features of that CMS. But i don't want to create a new CMS-war or something else ;-) Well - I always advocated the special tool for special needs philosophy (wiki extra, forums extra) so I surely don't have objections against an extra authors-instance. But it would help to lay out the requirements, so that those who are setting up the drupal demo/prototoype can have a look at it. ciao Christian -- E-mail to website+h...@libreoffice.org for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/website/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

So they they were thinking of a vertical Plone to Plone migration rather than a complete migration, and I think the same would apply to documentation for LibreOffice. Plone is a good CMS, and if it works well for the documentation team, then it makes sense to continue using it. However, I know the focus of the OOoAuthors project has been to produce PDFs and printed books, but there is a good reason to also work on thorough, online, HTML documentation for LibO in the future. (We do have the documentation wiki already: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/ ) If you're interested in online Drupal documentation, the best example I can recommend is the Drupal site's documentation itself: http://drupal.org/documentation Both in terms of workflow and final output, it meets the needs I think we have for LibO. From a user perspective, hosting it at an easy URL like libreoffice.org/documentation would be very important, and thus it should be integrated into our core CMS. -Ben Benjamin Horst bho...@mac.com 646-464-2314 (Eastern) www.solidoffice.com -- E-mail to website+h...@libreoffice.org for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/website/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
