Thanks for the details.
I wonder if a how-tos menu link might not fit somewhere towards the
bottom of the Contents menu in
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications (perhaps
before or after FAQ).
The bigger question might be whether it's possible to add a link to a
single hub page linking to some of the orphaned material (like Reference
Cards and Video Tutorials, along with how-tos) in
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/ - perhaps there could
be a link beneath "Other books coming soon" to a page that, in turn,
links to "Other Documentation"

We have a process, which mostly isn't followed due to too few people
to do the work. I try to go through work by new contributors and then
turn them loose if they don't need or want supervision. In practice, I
generally publish everything, often because people are waiting for
others to review or edit and I decide to just publish anyway, ready or
not.
I (and Hazel, and Peter, among others) try to edit and enforce some
consistency among chapters in the users guides (particularly in a book
which is not all being done by the same person), but authors of
stand-alone documents are welcome to deviate from the "voice" of the
user guides. You are also welcome to publish your docs whenever you
feel they are ready; if I or anyone reviews it and finds anything that
needs improvment, we'll suggest changes to the author or simply make
the changes (typos etc) and replace the published version.
David, I'm working my way through your first how-to, mostly using it
as an opportunity to point out how we do things in the user guides,
which you can choose to follow or not.
I've not had a chance to consider what's the best place to list
how-tos on the wiki. Quite a lot of the available material is poorly
organised and difficult for people to find. Suggestions welcome. As
longer-term members of the team know, we keep attempting to improve
the organisation of the wiki; it's definitely an ongoing process.

Thanks. I appreciate it.
What is the process we follow for moving a doc to actual publication? It's
rather obvious from looking around the site that Jean somehow manages to be
involved in an awful lot what happens here (not to take away from the
contributions of many others), but even she probably can't steward every doc
through every step of its journey...

I can only reinforce what Jean said in another email.
I don't have all that much experience of draw so I just followed the the steps
in the doc. These were easy to understand. Well laid out and easy to follow.
Nothing else to say really. Well done.
Cheers

I've created a suitable folder and moved the file there:

I probably won't find time to look at, edit, or comment on the
contents until next week, though.

Hi,
I've uploaded a first draft of a how-to doc:
"How to Create Ad Posters Using LibreOffice Draw"
As there is currently no /libreoffice/english/howto/ folder (and I didn't
feel I'd been around long enough to create one), I just dumped the doc in
/libreoffice/english - anyone who wants to find a better home for it is
welcome.
Also welcome are any edits, criticisms, and comments.
Regards,
David Clinton
