I was interested in putting up a scenario-based user doc for publishing/editing/proofing work.
What I am looking at is the following: Anyone working with a master template, column generations, auto text flows, indexing, creating custom dictionaries/bibliographies and using macros to make their book/newsletter authoring projects easier would be my target user.
Please let me know if someone is already working on something like this or should I start from scratch - if the case is the latter is there a template/ where would I find it/ how do I check-in - is there a doc for 'getting started' :)?
Welcome!
Most of what you mention here is in the user guide for OOoWriter that we are writing, but the topics are not all pulled together in one place, and they are mostly not scenario-based.
What you propose sounds great to me. Not as part of the main user guide, but as a separate guide with the specific audience you mention. In fact, it's similar to an idea I've had, but which I'm unlikely to do anythig with because I don't have time to develop it.
You'll probably receive a note from Daniel Carrera soon, so I won't go into detail about getting started here at OOoAuthors, but if you go to the home page (http://oooauthors.org/) you'll find links to some useful info.
Do join the OOoAuthors site and request the author role, if you haven't already. Then click the link to "Write a new chapter" which will take you to this page, with links to the chapter template, our style guide, and other useful documents.
