Hi Dave! Hi Team! I read all the comments made by Dave and I believe he pointed out some important aspects that need to be improved. Next I will give feedback on some of these aspects.
*1. Dave raised an issue regarding the requirement that contributors change their language and icons settings to prepare/update/review guide chapters.* I tend to agree with him that this might be an issue for some contributors, because the need to constantly switch language and icons settings may be a hurdle to some contributors. In my case I happen to use the US English language by default in my system, so this has never been an issue for me. However, it might be an issue for others. On the other hand, having two separate installations of LibreOffice or running it from within a VM are technically complex solutions. I am still undecided as to which alternative would be the best to solve this issue. Maybe having two installations will be simpler for most users. *2. The "Enable macro recording (may be limited)" option may be unstable* As far as I know, this is only used in the Getting Started with Macros chapter of the Getting Started Guide. Maybe we could remove this from the Contributor's Guide, because this option is used very rarely and may confuse new contributors. *3. Installing Liberation Fonts* I have never seen an installation of LibreOffice that did not install the Liberation fonts. Maybe we could drop the instructions on how to install these fonts. *4. As for screen capture software, Dave commented "Maybe the docs team could make recommendations for open source or free software for this on the supported operating systems"* It would be great to provide some recommendations for new contributors. In my case, I use *Flameshot* on Linux and it is a great tool for capturing and cropping screenshots. On Windows there's a *Snipping Tool* that comes preinstalled.
