On documentation.libreoffice.org, the way to check out a document is to navigate to the desired doc, then hover your mouse over the doc. To the right, a menu will appear, with an option "More" at the bottom of the list. Click on that and you will see at option "Edit offline". When you choose that option and then download the document to your local system, the document is indeed locked and flagged as "Editing started by: xxxxxxxx" (where xxxxxxx is your user name). So the mechanism is in fact the same, but the terminology is slightly different. Once again, this confusion is down to the fact that I/we need to get a workflow finalized, we maybe need to make a choice between the Alfresco Explorer and Alfresco Share interfaces, and then I/we need to get the docs team contribution documentation up to date, based on Jeremy's and Jean's excellent work. I'm currently consulting with Jeff Potts about this, and we'll be better organized shortly...
