Hi :) +1 I was mostly thinking about things that weren't in the UI but using the examples given in the original post. Sorry! That was really confusing!
Perhaps we could agree on ToolBar? Although that might make us inconsistent with the rest of the world? It might make things clearer for people that are very new to computers? I like the major contributors at the top along with most recent contributors but it's difficult to judge who did the most when people have a tendancy to be shy about it. Sometimes it's obvious of course but not always. Regards from Tom :) ________________________________ From: Jean Weber <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, 30 July, 2011 12:05:38 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Chapters 1 and 2 reviewed On Saturday, July 30, 2011, John Cleland <[email protected]> wrote: > > Is there a standard way of referring to things, for example Toolbar,toolbar or ToolBar. QuickStarter, Quickstarter. AutoRecovery or Auto Recovery. Yes, but we haven't listed them all in the style guide yet. The general rule is: use the same as whatever is on the UI, but in some cases (such as "toolbar") that doesn't help much because the term either doesn't appear on the UI or it's capitalised inconsistently there. > > Is there a standard way of sorting the list of contributors, sometimes done horizontally, sometimes vertically. No, or at least not yet. Mostly what's happened is the list starts off vertical (one to a line) and then gets turned into three-to-a-line when everything no longer fits onto one page. Also some are sorted alphabetically, some in the order in which they worked on the file, and others have the major contributor(s) listed first. I prefer the latter style, but others prefer one of the others, so the lists have varied. > Will continue with the rest of the chapters Great, thanks.
