Based on your comments in this thread I want to start a new thread for a
vote on this topic.
Well, I'm not too sure who this vote is supposed to include, nor on
whom and how it is supposed to be binding. In any case, I hope that
the contributors to the English docs team will be left to steer and
manage their own work, without anyone trying to impose ideas on them
"from the outside" (meaning from people who are not actively involved
in the actual work).
I don't know if you were part of the prior discussions on this, but the
general consensus is that the Design team is usually consulted on
matters involving matters to do with graphic design which is why we are
holding the screenshot discussion on this list. The LibreOffice project
has many tentacles but some of these tentacles do need to cooperate with
other tentacles. The design team does a good job at keeping the
LibreOffice "public face" consistent.
As to your reference again of "manage their own work, without anyone
trying to impose ideas on them > "from the outside" (meaning from people
who are not actively involved > in the actual work)." seems to be a
little negative when some of us who would like to contribute are asking
for a little more clarity in guidelines. It doesn't sound like people
would have a voice to express their opinions about a part of LibreOffice
where they would like to participate.
You can't on one hand complain that there is not enough help to update
manuals and create more documentation and then complain when people ask
for clarity and better guidelines and infer that they are butting in
where they don't belong. If growth in contributors was a problem with
OOo and that it is again rearing its ugly head with LibreOffice, then
maybe there needs to be a little tweaking here and there to help new
people join and contribute.
Or at least, is this not part of the project's hopes? Have more members
contribute?
Cheers,
Marc
