First though, I'll be needing an Alfresco account. No? Do you have the super

Sure do. And it's done. Look for private mail from me with login info,

A few good points were made in this thread. I can see we're going to need a

documentation, etc is Jean. She has the experience coming from the

templates a

I've already overwritten the styles, replaced the brands at the tops and
deleted the footers on the second page. But does this project also include

Actually, I just noticed that the published document I'm working from as a
template has the same issue. It's Chapter 7 "Working With Styles," file
0207WG3 under the writing tuts. I'm seeing "OOo" and "OpenOffice.org" in
some of the tabs and links for the screenshots. Is this an issue?
On Thu, May
Hi :)
Could references to OOo and OpenOffice.org be removed fairly easily? I think
that is one of our top priorities? If it can only be seen by the documentation
team then it's less of an issue but if the general public can see it then it
should go, if possible.

Hi Tom :)
What I am seeing is OOo specific images in documentation that is already
published on the Libreoffice website.
Before I say more, I'd like to add that I can see a lot of work has gone
into documentation already, and I'm not simply criticizing that work but
hoping to help improve upon i
Hi :)
It's not taken as criticism. The documentation team has been working hard and
fast just to get documentation out there. There will be mistakes that need
fixing and mostly those are ok for now. Branding is a fairly serious issue so

Replacing the screenshots definitely needs to be done, either at this point or
during the review to see what else may need to be changed because of
differences between OOo Impress and LibO Impress. So please do so if you want
to and have time.
If you do replace screenshots, please note that we
That was certainly an oversight if any remained in a published doc, and will
need to be fixed in the next update. The Getting Started book in particular was

Oh, there's a Resources section on Alfresco. Okay, I'll review the items you
mentioned and redo the documents.
Unfortunately I won't be able to do screenshots on anything other than
Windows until I can switch to Linux. Someone else will need to take that
torch if it needs to be done soon. Sorry.
Done. A private message has been sent to you with your login details.
Sorry about the delay; I'm in Australia, so the time difference gets in

Thanks, John. My experience and primary area of activity is with the

It's good that you're organizing this ahead of time. It will help keep
everything in order as the blog develops.
A good way of thinking about it is that tags might give a small SEO bump to
