This document may be of interest: https://obriend.fedorapeople.org/WritingStyleGuide/ It's only recently (last year) been open sourced and made public. On the Docs list, I wrote: Here is one I remember from OOo: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Dashboard/Help_Style_Guide There is also a short (and somewhat out of date) writing style guide for LO user guides. It is Chapter 5 in the LO Docs Contributors Guide. See here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development#Contributors_Guide In Docs, we mainly referred to the relevant sections of _Read Me First! A Style Guide for the Computer Industry_ by Sun Technical Publications. --Jean -- 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
