I have some spare time this week, so I could give a hand with the wiki. I am
fairly familiar with the language and I have an account for the
OpenOffice.org wiki, so I guess I should be ready to go. All I need to know
is what I have to do :-D
This is the first chance I've had to answer your question, so I may be
too late. And your time might be better spent reviewing Writer Guide
chapters or working on the Impress Guide, but that's up to you. And I
think you still have 1 or 2 GS chapters out for reviews?
If you do want to work on the wiki, this page is the starting point for
the Getting Started guide:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Getting_Started
Chapters 12 and 14, and Appendixes A and B, have not been converted to
wiki format. To do this, you need to Export to MediaWiki, clean up the
results, and add the pictures. By "clean up the results" I mean change
the Tips/Notes/Cautions to the wiki style (instead of tables as in the
ODT) and change the figures to the wiki style and use some sensible
naming scheme for the pix. The best way to see how to code things is to
look at a chapter that has been done.
Chapters also need to have wiki ToCs created; usually the wiki pages are
split at H1s in the ODT files.
Existing chapters except Ch1 and Ch9 have ToCs but have not yet been
split into separate wiki pages. I am slowly working my way through the
other chapters, as I have time to do them.
Regarding the figures: many of them are the same as in the OOo2.x GS
book, so I use the same filename and don't have to upload new pix. For
those that are new, I get the pix by unzipping the ODT files and
extracting the Pictures folder, then working out which image is which
and renaming them to something sensible.
There may be a better way to do most of these things.
