Hi, I find the overview tables at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development/UserGuideTasks to be good, but I still do not know how to proceed - where to get files from, where to place new versions to and what exactly to do. Therefore I suggest to specify details of the workflow. I think that this would help and would speed up the process.
My proposal is to maintain an overview table as that in https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development/UserGuideTasks and a folder structure in http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english (/getting-started/draft-lo-5.0 in case of the GS guide 5.0) which corresponds to the columns of the table. If one wants to work on a document, he/she should get its most recent version from the corresponding folder, adds a notice to the "Checkout" column and, once finished, save the updated version in the folder corresponding to the next column of the table, make a notice in that column and remove the checkout notice. I suggest the following columns (and folders): 1. *Source document*: A document which is just a copy of the published one of the previous LO version. Eventually it is a modified version, as now, when templates have been updated by Jean. There are no content changes with respect to its source. 2. *Content updated*: Content update according to release notes, eventually other content changes. Author leaves a note where more work is required. The author checks the Figures and leaves a note, when figure update is necessary. 3. *Figures updated*: updated figures - the author keeps the comments, just confirms figure replacement in a new comment (in order to make reviewing in step 4 easier) 4. *Reviewed*: Reviewing of all changes, all comments removed. If the author cannot solve a problem, asks in the mailing list for help. 5. *Cleanup*: formatting cleanup 6. *Published*. Header of the table columns should contain links to the corresponding folder, so that one knows where to get and where to put the document. In each folder there should be just one copy of each chapter. We have used a similar workflow for translation of the GS Guide and I think it worked well. What do you think about this? best Milos -- email & jabber: [email protected] -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
