Hi, I've been in a mail conversation with the Alfresco guys, notably Jeff Potts (Chief Community Officer). Jeff is going to give me some mentoring, and I am going to get started with the practical implementation work as regards configuring/customizing our LibreOffice Alfresco platform. If someone else wants to give practical help with this, they are most welcome at any time.
Jeff is also setting-up an online meeting with the developer of the currently-dormant OOo plugin for Alfresco so that we can explore how to update it and get it operationally working with our current LibreOffice version. This is scheduled to take place during the week of June 27. Depending on how this initiative develops, we might possibly be able to envision integrating it into a workflow for the English docs team. I'm going to post on our LibreOffice devs list and discuss the project there, too. So the first practical step will be to establish with the English docs team exactly what our needs and expectations are. Looking back at past threads on this list, I guess we can already list the following: * configure user groups with properly-configured powers; * develop informative e-mail alerts for added/removed/edited content; * develop automated workflows for the English docs team (which could be subsequently replicated for other language projects to manage their own docs work, if they express interest). In connection with this, we'd need to establish whether docs team contributors prefer the "classic" Alfresco interface exposed at http://alfresco.libreoffice.org or the newer, revised heavily-Ajax-powered powered Alfresco interface exposed at http://documentation.libreoffice.org, or whether both should be available simultaneously, as at present; * develop a special world-facing site on documentation.libreoffice.org and/or media.libreoffice.org to be a showcase and download point for the platform's content for our end users; * optionally, depending on how things pan out, configure our Alfresco platform to properly function with the OOo/LibreOffice plugin for Alfresco, and integrate that functionality into the EngDocs workflow. Please could I hear your comments and suggestions about the above? Once we get some kind of requirements spec figured out, the actual practical work can start ASAP. -- David Nelson -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
