Hello Ralph, > What is the latest, autoritative version of "Writer Basics", > and who should I contact for coordination? > > http://oooauthors.org/groups/authors/userguide2/writer/WriterBasicswithV2templateEditsMillerp-1.sxw
We do not yet have an "authoritative" version. The one above is the latest, and the best we have. It is probably "almost authoritative" but it will have to go through a few more reviews before I feel confortable saying that. If you look in the writer guide folder: http://oooauthors.org/groups/authors/userguide2/writer/ You will notice a sub-folder called "pre-published chapters". This is where we put the documents that have gone through extensive review, and can be considered "done". The reason why we don't call them "published" is because they are all based on a pre-release version of OOo 2.0. > Is "Writer Guide" a different document, or does it include "Writer > Basics"? Where should I put my emphasis (what document is more > important)? This stuff is a bit confusing for me. It's alright, it's all new to you. "Writer Basics" is the first chapter of the "Writer Guide". We are writing one guide for each major component of OOo (Writer, Calc, etc) and one general guide called "Getting Started". Because these documents are big, they are divided into chapters, and each chapter is a separate file. We then use a "master document" to pull them all together. Does that help? > How should we handle version numbers with respect to translation? I don't think that they have to correspond at all. I think they should be independent. That would also allow you to change the document in whichever way you feel appropriate. It doesn't have to be an exact translation, I don't think. > If anyone is interested, my rough first translation is at > http://www.pangea.at/~ralph/writerbasics-de/ Thanks!
