Hello All,
Not too sure if this is the right list, but I guess you have to start
from somewhere. Also, it may very well be that everything is already in
place (things have moved quite quickly recently), in which case please
accept my apologies.
I have been a volunteer in OOoAuthors for some time now, but I am quite
interested in giving a hand in developing the documentation for LibO.
At present thanks to the OOoAuthors website and thanks to the great job
that Jean is doing, we have a set of well oiled mechanisms and
procedures as well as many resources on the openoffice.org web site
coupled with a well established working method to help us.
Particularly with regards to the last two points, I am wondering then if
we will be able to rely on the same "service level" when migrating to LibO.
Here's a (non exhaustive?) list of things that I think would be very useful
1. Release schedule (of course approximate) and version numbering scheme
- this would allow some planning (e.g. only update the documentation for
major releases)
2. List of new features and enhancements contained in the release
- The OpenOffice.org release notes are quite useful as they list all the
new features integrated with links to the corresponding issue (if any)
and specifications (if any).
3. List of bugs that have been squashed in the release
- again OpenOffice.org provides an excellent tool. The current bugzilla
hosted by bugs.freedesktop.org is OK but it seems to have a reduced
number of functionality (e.g. search, voting, target)
4. Changes to the online help
- often the online help is a good starting point when preparing the guides.
Cheers,
Michele
