Thanks to all of you for the offers. Who would like to take on the job of compiling and publishing the Draw Guide? I've had one offer for that book, but the person isn't available this month, and I'd like to get it published by the end of July if possible (leaving Michele Zarri's proposed reorganisation for the second edition later in the year).
The last chapter is being indexed right now (thanks, Jared, for working on the indexing); when it's done, the book can go into the final stages of production. Here are some general instructions. I recently updated these pages, but I may have missed something, so let me know if you spot any problems or anything is unclear. I am available to help as needed this month, but I will be away again (and not contactable) in August. Publishing User Guide Chapters http://www.oooauthors.org/english/userguide3/res3/edit_checklist Creating a User Guide using a Master Document http://www.oooauthors.org/english/userguide3/res3/create_book I usually ask for others to do quick checks of "release candidates" of the chapters and the book (in PDF form) at various stages in the process. Other books will soon need updating, too. I will write some further notes about them. --Jean On Mon, 2010-07-12 at 10:01 +0100, Joe Sellman wrote: > Hi Jean, > > It sounds interesting and I have quite alot of free time > > Regards, > Joe > > On Mon, Jul 12, 2010 at 8:33 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Just finished a unit of my copyediting course so I have a month to help if > > you will point me where you want me to go (metaphorically that is!). > > Thanks > > Sharon > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Jerry Schellhammer" <[email protected]> > > To: [email protected] > > Sent: Monday, 12 July, 2010 04:59:53 GMT +01:00 Amsterdam / Berlin / Bern > > / Rome / Stockholm / Vienna > > Subject: Re: [authors] Book compilers/editors/publishers needed > > > > Jean, > > Yes, I would be interested. > > Jerry > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Jean Weber" <[email protected]> > > To: <[email protected]> > > Sent: Sunday, July 11, 2010 5:02 PM > > Subject: [authors] Book compilers/editors/publishers needed > > > > > > > We need several people with the time and interest to commit to being > > > responsible for final compilation, editing, and publishing a book. > > > Some experience would help but is not essential.
