I've retracted and checked the IntroducingWriter

didn't make any notes or changes so do I need to
upload it, or can I just "release" it back to others?
If so, what status do I put it at?
Thanks, Bill.
No, you don't need to upload it, since you didn't make any
changes or notes. Sending an email to the list as you did is enough.
As for what status to put on the checked files, I've been
thinking about the best way to handle this, so people know a file
has been checked and doesn't need to be checked again. The only
thing I can think of is to leave it as "visible" (the state it
received when you retracted it), and Janet or I will move it to a
new "final published" folder when one of us gets a chance to do a
few last-minute things like removing the "Draft" notice in the
header and making sure the chapter number is right, etc etc.
PS. Is there a particular guide / chapter that I
should work on?
I suggest you keep going through the Writer Guide chapters,
either in order or randomly, whatever appeals to you. Skip any
that are not in a published state, because that means someone
else is working on them.
One other request: when you check out a chapter to review, please
retract all three versions of the file: ODF, SXW, and PDF.
Thanks again for your help. The release of OOo2.0 is getting
close (we all hope!), so it would be really good to get a few
books done for the release or as soon as possible thereafter.
Cheers, Jean
