Hi Steve,
I see you've had Chapter 5 checked out for awhile. How are you going

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Chapter 5 of Base Handbook?

[Steve]

Hi,

I got about halfway through Ch.5 before more pressing issues came up. 
And now of course the holidays are taking my time. I'm hoping to get it 
finished shortly after the new year if that's okay, or if you'd prefer 
that I check it back in so that someone else can finish it, just let me 
know.


Have a great holiday everyone!

[libreoffice-documentation] Base Handbook Ch2 reviewed; Ch6 (Reports) checked out for review

[Jean Weber]

Apologies for taking so long to finish reviewing Base Handbook v5.0
Ch2; it's now in the Reviewed folder for the book.

I've checked out Ch6 (Reports). Hoping to hear soon from the people
who have Ch4 & Ch5 checked out. Others: feel free to take other
chapters. Yes, I know that for most of you, it's holiday season and
you're probably super busy with family and other activities. If so,
have a good time and hope to see you back in the new year if not
before.

[libreoffice-documentation] Re: Help-files: Large-scale 'cosmetic' changes

[ptoye]

Tom (and others),

I'm not sure that "allow to" is such an enormous problem with the help
files. There are only 8 help files which use "allow to" or "allows to", and
only one of them has more than one occurrence, so manual change is easily
possible - no automation needed.

A far larger problem is the API documentation where the problem is
widespread. Clicking at random I found
http://www.openoffice.org/api/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/bridge/Bridge.html
at the first attempt! And I can't think of a way in which "allows to
initialize" could be changed to "initializes" automatically.

As to whether "you" should be allowed in a help file, I have no deep
feelings - this appears to be contentious, but is used a lot in some files.
As there is a human being using the help file, I see no harm in referring to
them as "you". As it happens "allows you to" also occurs in at least one
help file. But I do not think that "you" has a place in API documentation -
there is no human being involved in calling a method or using an interface
(or is it the programmer?).
