Ah no. Jean is trying to get a feel for the web interface to the documentation. Jean, the typical workflow is to go to the live
document on the ooo-site.apache.org page, then click on the ASF CMS bookmarklet you installed from the cms.apache.org site. That will take you (after maybe a minute or so) to the page you can use to edit the document. Clicking on the Edit link will open up a page with a syntax-hilighted html editor. When you are done editing the page, check the "Quick Commit" radio button and type a log message describing the nature of your edits. Then hit the Submit button. If all goes well your changes will be committed to svn and built to the staging site. If you are satisfied with the results then publish your changes to the live site by clicking on the Publish Site link and filling out the form. HTH >________________________________ > From: Dennis E.
