Hi :) Please try to use the Alfresco site as everyone else manages to do so. Different versions scattered around the internet on people's personal websites makes it difficult to work out which version has which edits and which should or shouldn't be being worked on. I think you are proposing a really messy muddle. Regards from Tom :)

Those postseason baseball games leading up to the World Series are still ongoing. I did finish a somewhat quick single-pass edit of Chapter 10, though but did not upload it to my website yet. The nags on the administration control panel on the phpBB3 forum site kept urging me to update to the latest version over the past several days, so I did that software updating first yesterday. Chapter 10 had over 150 edits made to it. I suspect that the original source file from OOo was responsible for most, if not all, of those errors--not the rebranding efforts. The only LO-caused problem that I can remember was related to its not being updated for version 3.4 yet--a screenshot had a version 3.3 name for a dialog-box title. (Somebody should fix that, though...) Because the OOo source file for Chapter 10 contained so many errors due to, perhaps, careless lapses, mostly with improper character formatting and manual overrides, I reckon that all of the remaining OOo Writer Guide chapter files used in rebranding might have been similarly "contaminated." I would prefer not having to perform all of those tedious copyediting repair jobs myself for those several other chapters, so maybe some volunteers might help out. No experience would be necessary, as I can readily instruct each and everybody in how to perform the copyediting and technical editing tasks that are necessary. The edited chapter 10 (edit-tracked and commented) source file could be employed for giving general and specific instructions in how to carry out the many repetitious editing changes necessary in order to bring the LO chapter source files up to more-professional standards. In any event, I will load the edited Chapter 10 source file onto my forum site soon and will include mucho exposition there also--relating to what was done in greater detail.
