After a screening from the ESC meeting today I'm bringing here the contents of the discussion on multimedia usage in the new Help system.
---------8<---------------- + Proposal for handling multimedia. ================================= Objective of Multimedia: ----------------------- • Will NOT replace textual description of LO resource or feature. • Be a rich support for textual contents • Introduce examples, use cases or tutorials on feature / resource. • Indirectly: motivate communities to produce contents and contribute. Issue: ------ • Multimedia contents is asked to be localized on release, for some languages. Concerns: --------- • Not every community has resource for localization or local contents production to match release deadlines. • Localized captions not even accepted in some languages. Further information on New Help ------------------------------- • New help is now build-able and package-able (thanks to Stephan Bergman and David Tardon) • New Help build distinct when ONLINE or OFFLINE ◦ Offline is package-able. • OFFLINE help already has no multimedia (<object> tag is not rendered) • ONLINE help has multimedia (master). ◦ https://help.libreoffice.org/6.1/en-US/text/scalc/main0000.html Options: -------- 1. Remove all multimedia from Help either online and offline: 1. Problem vanish. 2. Remove all multimedia from offline Help. => Done already 3. Implement language based multimedia enabler in XSLT / makefile 1. --without-help-multimedia=fr 2. if $lang = “fr” then multimedia > /dev/null 4. Have multimedia enabled and localize <object> 1. Change href= to localized contents 2. set width=”0” and height=”0” if no localized contents. + was this built in discussion with l10n team ? (Michael) + not presented the options to them (Olivier) + would like to have ESC input + l10n team are waiting for his proposals (Sophie) + can we add – when video scripts are made available. + where are these published before embedding ? + expect each community to decide if they want it ? (Olivier) + a 5th option ? Different flavours of help with & without ? (Heiko) + off-line help has no MM enabled already (Olivier) + the on-line site can have this. => discuss this with the l10n teams for a decision. ---------8<---------------- What is left to work on is (not exhaustive) + Local teams to inform what option(s) fits best its community needs + Establish rules and guidelines for multimedia contents production to address + Quality + Accuracy + Security + Privacy + Cultural localization + LibreOffice Branding and reputation + Licensing + Maintainability + Other relevant issues + Create an Editorial board to enforce the rules and guidelines above. + Other relevant tasks. Please comment on the issues.
