I'm not sure I'm necessarily the person to ask. I'm not the one making LibreOffice documentation happen. I'm just trying to bring people together, so they can all share problems and experiences just like this. Many projects do a sort of hybrid wiki/controlled documentation approach. For instance, Ubuntu has built-in help (much of which comes from upstream projects) which they also build out to the web. Then they also have their community documentation wiki. I think theirs is English only though. The Mozilla Developer Network does have multiple languages, but I don't know whether they do it with message-based translations or all-out new content for other languages. I think their site runs Mindtouch. And of course, though it's not documentation, Wikipedia is the most successful multi-lingual wiki ever. I'm pretty sure their non-English content is written from scratch, not translated. I don't know if they've got tools in place to make it easier to borrow content from and track changes to pages in other languages. I don't want to push any technologies here. But I'm happy to share my experiences or connect you to people who can share theirs. -- Shaun -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/documentation/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
