So basically there's a steep learning curve, but once someone has an active knowledge of the current text, then they should be able to do work in small deltas. As long as there's clear documentation about getting up to speed (and the potential time to do so), the workflow seems plausible. > The task requires: > * Copy editing; > * Line editing; > * Proof reading; > amongst other editing tasks.

I keep on hearing about these big changes. Some of them sound scriptable, but have there been some that are not? Aside from the bulk-changes, how many string additions/modifications/etc.. are there on a weekly or monthly basis? > BTW, does anybody know where the *current* _LibreOffice Manual of > Style_ can be obtained from? Once we find it, let's add a redirect here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Manual_of_style (Or it can live there, if it doesn't have a good home yet! :-) If it's more of an official-ish document, perhaps this would be a better home: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/TDF/Manual_of_style Best, --R -- Robinson Tryon QA Engineer - The Document Foundation LibreOffice Community Outreach Herald qu...@libreoffice.org -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: projects+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/projects/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
