 Hello,

 Regarding the recent TDF blog post soliciting documentation
 contributors, I am absolutely interested in this.

 Completely coincidentally I am presently looking to break into technical
 writing as an alternate career path, and would also be interested in
 mentoring (if any is available).

 I have a strong track record in promulgating LibreOffice/ODF and free
 software in general. Many of my blog and social network posts have been
 redistributed by the official LibreOffice social networks. I've authored
 a substantial amount of LibreOffice technical and end user documentation
 as part of a corporate office software migration project, and I'm
 gradually adding a number of redacted samples for public viewing to a
 new site at:

   * https://docs.davekoelmeyer.co.nz:8181/JSPWiki/

 Please feel free to browse and comment. I also have a corporate blog
 containing LibreOffice posts with more of a marketing focus:

   * https://www.apertura.co.nz/search/node/libreoffice


 Thanks, and looking forward to being on board.

 Cheers,
 Dave

Hi Jean, Olivier,

Sure thing, does any chapter in particular suit?

I suggest reviewing a different chapter. I am updating the Writer
Guide and can easily transfer any relevant updates to the chapter on
Writer in the Getting Started Guide.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Contributing to technical writing and documentation

2016-10-06 Thread Dave Koelmeyer

Hi Olivier,

I'll be delighted to work on this. I think what I'm also seeking is some
guidance from you and the other documentation experts as to what you
assess my current technical writing ability to be based on my basic
portfolio (relayed off list if that suits better), and then assign work
to me based on this.

For starters this task looks like a great way to begin, so I'll get
stuck in and will be in touch!

Cheers,
Dave

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Contributing to technical writing and documentation

2016-10-06 Thread Olivier Hallot

Hello Dave

Welcome to the Documentation team. Contributions from individuals
skilled in LibreOffice are most appreciated.

What about updating our Getting Started manuals to the 5.2 release?

The task is really easy: Review the 5.1 contents versus 5.2 new features.

For example, pick the chapter on Writer (getting started with Writer)  in

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications

*Activate the track changes* in the file  and update the text with

  * If a new feature is important for a introductory text, write about
it, explaining it, or giving instruction on how to make it work.

  * if not (an advanced feature not suited for a newbie user or a
internal coding tweak), skip it.

The new features of Writer 5.2 (from 5.1) are here

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.2#Writer

Hint: A very possible outcome is that there is nothing to modify. But I
leave it to you.

When done, please send the file to me.

Let me know if that is good for a start or you want to address another
documentation topic.

Kind regards

Olivier
