I am going to have very little time for OOoAuthors for the rest of this
year (other commitments are going to eat up my life), so I expect to be
doing less editing and more coordination and chores like keeping the
OOoAuthors pages at Docs up to date... unless someone can take over some
of that.
I can work on keeping the OOoAuthors website up to date, but I can't
help with Docs until I solve the SSH problem here.
Yesterday I had a visit from a Linux guru. We spent several hours trying
to trace the problem, without success. I just can't get SSH working.
Which means I can't CVS.
Uploading files to Docs will be a problem for me during November when
I'm in the USA on dial-up, so I hope someone will be able to back me up.
This isn't something that has to be done very often, but the backup
person does need to have working SSH access to OOo and be granted
developer status by Scott Carr.
:-( And here I am, unable to jump in and help.
On the editing side, several people (Lin Hall and Rob Scott come
immediately to mind) have been doing good work, and Chris Bonde has been
very helpful on what I call "production editing"
Please tell them "thank you" for me. :-)
I've been hoping that someone would be willing to take over
responsibility for editing, coordinating, and producing at least one of
the books (Calc, perhaps?), but so far no one has.
Any idea where we can find a qualified person?
One thing I'm really concerned about is the chapters I'm writing or
maintaining... I have too many. I really need to turn some of them over
to other people.
Please send me a list. I know that I haven't been good at keeping up
with reviews lately. Life has just been too busy. But I'll keep trying.
Cheers,
Daniel.
