Hi Andrew,
I was the bad guy
I didn't mean to imply that. :) I just wanted to check on the reason
and see if anything can be done to improve the notes for end users.
Also, I was indirectly asking if linking to oooninja.com is undesirable
on the wiki.
who removed all the links out of the document to non .openoffice.org
domains.
Except for sun.com and my video on veoh.com. If that video is
permissible, I have 2 more videos related to OOo 2.4.
We tried since year that in official OpenOffice.org document there
should be no links to non .openoffice.org domain. So by seeing the
massive amount of the oooninja.com links was to remove them (without
checking all the content behind those links). Right now I'm unsure on
how to deal with this because most content seems to be very valueable
for OpenOffice.org user. Thank you very much for all that work !
You're welcome.
Since I found out that I also not discovered all external links I'm
wondering what a good policy for those policies could be.
Would this policy apply to all locales? For the 2.4 release,
http://pt.openoffice.org/news/news_5.htm links to oooninja.com and I
expect my 2.4 overview article to be translated as the 2.4 release notes
for sr.openoffice.org .
On the one hand I would something important as release notes also
available offline with as much useful information as possible. But
this is also difficult with that many links into OOo wiki.
On the other hand to cut off many useful links might be also problematic.
By looking at the current release notes I think they are much better
than in the release before,
Yes, the previous release notes were too technical. It took me years to
understand the old style which seem, in many parts like "smoketest fix
for cygwin," intended for an audience of OpenOffice.org developers.
but they still contain too many links to blogs, specification and
issues and is too detailed at all.
I agree that many people don't care to read the specifications or Issue
Tracker which are too technical. That's why I included links to my site
which has descriptions intended for a more general, non-technical audience.
Maybe it would be more useful to strip down these release notes into
one document and just add one external link to the NewFeature document
for further information.
For what it's worth, when I think of release notes, I think of a format
more like Firefox's:
