Hello Sophie, all, Many thanks for offering your help. We have first met in Lyon OOo conference in 2006 and you have been more then a helping hand to me ever since. I think our project and in particular the documentation team will benefit a lot from your help. As translating the guides into

Hello, We are finishing the translation of Writer Guide and Calc Guide 3.x and started translating the Getting Started Guide 4.0. As we have limited resources and do not know where to continue, we thought that we'd better concentrate on what users are mainly looking for. As it is difficult to

Hi Alan, Nothing has been done yet with regard to the German 4.3. The plan was and still is to get English 4.2 out first. That's what I'm working on. That would be the best way for now. The dicussed problem with Getting Started ... will be gone in Handbook LO 4.4. So It would be better to

Hi :) At a guess i'd say that the Getting Started Guide far outstrips the rest. It's probably the only one that really kinda needs to be done for every branch. So maybe needs 1 every 6 months? 2nd place is probably Writer. A little way behind that is probably Calc in 3rd place. It'd be really

Hi :) Jean has always done a fantastic job at this despite never wanting the job in the first place. I think she's naturally gifted at it but she also (obviously!) puts in tons of hard-work at every level. Top marks for a total star! Regards from Tom :) On 7 September 2014 11:04, Jean Weber

Hi :) E, i'd guess that getting the first version of each guide completed is what requires the most resources. After that updating the guide (hopefully) takes a lot less effort. Still a lot of work but just not as huge a job as the initial translation! Is it easier to; 1. Compare the

Hi :) I think you can help by doing proof-reading or reviewing. Don't worry about doing the screen-shots! I think just alerting this mailing-list to the fact they need to be done might well be enough. Reviewing is good, ie to check that the guide correctly shows how to walk through processes -

Hi :) Does the 4.2 need re-translating again? I thought Hazel had already done the translations? Does anyone know where she might have put the work she did? Does anyone here know their way around ODFAuthors well enough that they can help Alan avoid having to re-do work that has already been

Hi :) Does anyone know what Jean was referring to in the post below? Did Hazel do the translations for 4.2 or not? If not that is fair enough because it sounds like a nightmare to work on Base at all. It's just that it would be really nice to avoid wasting another volunteer's valuable time.

I would be interested in assisting with the documentation for base, primarily the proofreading. I don't currently use base (or any database) and feel that this would help me to also understand the concepts and utilization of this portion of LibreOffice. I use both Linux and Windows although
