I like, I like. Especially the changes to the Editing Primer. The only comment is:Greetings all,
This update is especially important for NEW MEMBERS. But everyone would benefit from reading this. Janet has been doing some great work for us:
* Janet is updating the Style Guide to be clearer and make a distincition between rules and guidelines.
* Janet is replacing the Editing Primer by a new (much better!) document called Writing OOo Guides.
Though these documents are still in progress, they are "essentially done".
Normally I would wait until they are totally done before saying anything. But I see we have several new people comming in, and I don't feel right pointing them to outdated guidelines. Even if the old ones are not wrong, the new ones are just so much better.
Therefore, I have:
1) Updated the style guide with the latest "snapshot" from Janet:
http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/userguide2-pdl/resources/style_guide_v2.0.sxw
2) Removed the old Editing Primer and replaced it by the lates "snapshot" of Writing OOo Guides from Janet:
http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/userguide2-pdl/resources/Writing_OOo_Guides_v2.0.sxw
The old documents have been moved to the "Old Files" folder.
Incidentally, I also moved the "UI String Changes" files there, since we don't need them anymore (now that OOo 2.0 beta is out). Thank you for your help Liz!
Cheers,
in the section on Gender Neutral, last example about feminizing nouns, maybe the word 'gender' should be used instead of 'sex'.
Ddaniel, I think that you suggested that I try first with an into chapter on Draw.
Need instructions.
