Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Contributors' Guide

Dan,
The "rule" about not ending a sentence with a preposition has always
been, in fact, a style choice - not a rule of grammar. AFAIK most
modern style guides do not support this "rule." (Same for several
other "rules" we were taught in school.)

I have checked the "cleaned" files and replaced the ones in the
Published folder for the book.
Thanks for the quick work, Martin.
And thanks to everyone who worked on this book.

I have finished updating Chapter 3, Charts and Graphs, and placed the 
file in the Draft folder ready for first review.


As with earlier chapters, please do not waste time reviewing the front 
matter or the template used for these chapters (other than adding your 
name to the list of contributors of course!)


Regards,

Steve

Hi All,

I have started a detailed read through the chapters of the 6.4 Calc 
Guide to identify the changes needed for 7.0.


The first two chapters (0 - Preface and 1 - Introduction) have been 
updated and placed in the appropriate Draft folder within NextCloud. 
Please could somebody find time to perform a first review of these 
chapters?


Echoing Peter Schofield's comments in relation to the Impress Guide, 
please do not waste time reviewing the front matter or the template 
used for these chapters (other than adding your name to the list of 
contributors of course!). I will sort out these aspect prior to 
publication, once the 7.0 template is finalised.


Regards and thanks,

Steve Fanning

[libreoffice-documentation] Re[2]: CG7002-EnterEditFormatData - Review #1

2020-07-31 Thread Steve (GMail) 

Hi Annie,

Just a quick clarification about the Calc Guide status tracking 
spreadsheet. When you take a chapter for first review, just put your 
initials in column G ("Rev1") and fill in column H ("Return date") when 
you return the reviewed file to the Feedback folder. There's no need to 
change any of the entries in earlier columns when you are carrying out 
one of the reviews.


Not a problem, just a tip for future reference.

Regards,

Steve

Hi Annie,

No concerns that I am aware of! Thanks for your help.

Please don't worry that the chapter is not yet formatted in accordance 
with a 7.0 template. I will sort that out later, once an agreed 
template emerges.


Regards,

Steve

This is going quicker than I thought. I have uploaded chapter 1 to the 
feedback folder. Changes logged into the guide status.


I made one minor change concerning whether a sentence should end with a 
preposition. In high school, this was a no-no. (OK, this was 60 years 
ago.) What is the more modern thought about this?


Samatha: I liked your thoroughness for chapters 0 & 1.

When I first began working on the present Base Guide, I was translating 
the chapter from Base Handbuch (German). For that I needed to create 
clean file before translating them. All 10 of the files after cleaning 
were in fact bigger as you have discovered.

I hope this is the latest script, as some styles have been recently renamed

because of the different zipping algorithm (LO/python).

I placed the "cleaned" files in the Draft folder, in the
