What about the Base Handbook? It can not be translated until after the
German version has been published. This is taking more time for version
6.2 because of the amount of translation required. Later versions should
take a much shorter time because only the changes or added text will
have to be translated. (This is what OmegaT does very well.)

Hi
Other opinions: Yes I have one radically different.
Rationale: the current workflow and available resources is incompatible
(IMHO) with speed of software development, the gap between software
release and Guide release is very hard to close.
I prefer a dynamic "time-release" of the guides, as with the software.
That means publish "as-is" at time of release, whatever is available,
ideally synch'ing with the software release. Each update will be a
"Revision number".
I foresee usage of master documents to compile the book periodically and
quickly, and chapters updated by trusted Authors. One coordinator per
guide. Full usage of track changes and comments.
A new challenge for sure, but I propose to select one of our guides and
test the new workflow.

I will add some points about the Documentation NextCloud structure and
how things have become somewhat confused.
When it was decided move from ODF Authors to NextCloud, I set up the
NextCloud directory structure along similar lines to the one we had on
ODF Authors. Although it was undecided if we needed a Published folder
in the NextCloud structure. It was my understanding that our workflow
would be also be very similar to Jean's original workflow diagram
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Workflow.png
It was about this time that we started work on the Calc guide and
somebody arbitrarily decided that copies of the 4.1 guide should be
deposited in the 6.0 Drafts folder. From then on things got more and
more confusing, especially for new contributors.
I agree with Jean and would advocate that we return to the original
workflow. Other opinions?

It makes more sense to me for updates (or new chapters) to go in Drafts,
reviews in Feedback, and finished chapters in Published (the way we
did it
in ODFAuthors), instead of the way we’ve been doing it in NextCloud.

Hi Dan
Documents for review should be in the Feedback folder.
I moved them there for you.
Kind regards, Kees

I have completed editing the preface and chapter 1. These have been
uploaded to the Draft folder. (Is this the correct place, or what
would be a better place to put it?) I have also created a Guide status
spreadsheet based upon the Calc version. I have added one added
column: Replace screenshots. This has been placed in the Base Handbook
6.2 folder similar to where the guide status spreadsheet was placed in
Calc.
My next project is to make necessary changes in two of the example
databases that were discussed in the two documents I have uploaded. I
plan to edit one chapter at a time, and as I do so, I will be also
making editing each mentioned example databases.
In case anyone is interested, I have also created and uploaded ePUB
versions of the preface and chapter 1. They are also in the draft
folder. These are only examples of what is possible with this format;
when each document is ready for publishing, then they have to be
modified based upon any changes are made.
