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.
Kind regards
