I have worked through chapter 4 - forms on the Base documentation. Apart
from a minor concern relating to the descriptions of the various options
in the drop down menus I found that it was a good document, and would
certainly be of help to people developing forms. Owing to a disk crash
I have lost a number of e-mails relating to this project.
Would it be possible for someone to advise me on
1. How to check the chapter back in
2. What chapter should I work on next?
3. How do I check out any new chapters I work on?
4. What are the links for downloading chapters?
Sorry to be a pain but it has been many years since I have been involve
in a large team and I do not want to screw anything up.
Thanks in advance

Hi Peter,
Anyone who is prepared to "step up to the plate" and help with the
documentation is _NOT_ a pain. Don't concern yourself too much about
"screwing anything up", because everything is fixable and nobody will
get upset about a genuine mistake. Probably the only semi-important
thing to remember is renaming any edited files you check back in. (See
point 1 below.)
You should find answers to most of your questions at:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development
If you need any further clarification please write back to this list.
In answer to your specific questions:
1. See:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development#Uploading_a_file_after_a_review
Change the name of the file you are checking back in to include your
initials and editing date. Something like:
BH4204-Forms_AC_PG_01Oct2014.odt
(The AC indicates that you reviewed Alan Cook's revision.)
Then change the status here:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development/UserGuideTasks#Base_Handbook
2. The choice is yours. If you are interested in working on the Base
Handbook there appears to be plenty to choose from at:
http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/base-handbook/drafts_4.2
3. See:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development#Downloading_a_file_for_review
Then change the status here:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development/UserGuideTasks
4. For chapters you want to work on I would recommend the ODF Authors
website:http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english
It appears that Jean has made the Base Handbook chapters "Externally
Visible" (ie. no log-in required), but if you want to retract (ie. work
on) them you will need to log-in first.
I believe the above information to be accurate, but others will
undoubtedly correct any errors I may have made.
I hope this helps.
Regards
Dave
I have uploaded my version of the the Forms chapter. I looked at the
link for changing the status of the file. I do not have access to change
the status. Do I need an account for this, other than the ODF authors
login. (This does not work on the sign in.) It says my user name is
invalid, yet when I try to create a user it says I already exist.
I need to be able to set the status to reviewed and then be able to
check out another chapter.
Regards
Peter Goggin
