Hi :) At some point i would like to see a mix of screen-shots done using different themes and different OSes but done in a planned way rather than just looking accidental and unprofessional. It could look very artistically pleasing if done with some consideration or it could just look messy if done without any thought. At the moment there are a few people that focus on the wording and just mark where they want screen-shots updated. Some people have focused on screen-shots to the point of learning an unfamiliar OS although he has moved to doing both screen-shots and being a word-smith. Regards from Tom :)

My feeling about this (and I *believe* that Jean Weber agrees) is that documentation contributors should have the option of contributing screenshots indifferently from Mac, Linux or Windows - although it would probably be preferable to maintain consistency within a given guide. Firstly, this makes it clear that LibreOffice is mult-platform and consistent across platforms. Secondly, we want to keep the barrier for new contributors as low as possible, and not *oblige* them to install new software in order to work in documentation. This way, hopefully, we can get a lot more people involved. These are the key reasons why I'm asking for the SC to take a position, because we've been meeting quite a bit of opposition from a relatively small number of people for quite some time now (who want screenshots taken under Linux only), and it would be nice to get the issue cleared up one way or another. I could point out that I'm a daily Linux user myself, but I don't think we should be dogmatic about it. -- David Nelson -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/steering-discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/steering-discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
