About your request: i will setup an account for you at odfauthors tomorrow,

This is just the email address to subscribe to the documentation mailing

I have put Sophie Gautier in cc for this mail. She might be able to help
you to get in contact with the Arabic team.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Question about ODFAuthors

[Sigrid Carrera]

Hi,

What you describe is correct. However to have access to the not yet
published drafts you will need an account, that I or any other
administrator has to create for you.

If you don't have an account yet just reply again and state the username
that you would like to have and one of the admins will create the account
for you.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Accounts at ODFAuthors

[Sigrid Carrera]

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the screenshots. They do help a  lot.

In the published folder, please try to change the state from Externally
visible to Retract. I believe, that should do the trick. Once the file
is retracted, you should be able to edit/change/replace it with a new file.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Accounts at ODFAuthors

[Sigrid Carrera]

Hi Dave,

can you make some screenshots and send those to me directly?

What I suspect, is that you first have to unpublish the file, before you
can replace it and that you're not doing that.

You will have to click on the file you want to exchange, then on the top
right, you have to switch from externally visible to Retract and only
after this is done, you can then change the file.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Accounts at ODFAuthors

Hi Dave,

I just checked - you had all the necessary rights. To be on the safe side -
I removed the rights, saved the settings, and then re-add the same rights
again.

Maybe there is something not clear in the description how to replace an
existing document?
So if you could describe step by step what you are doing, maybe we can spot
the error and correct then our instructions?

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Fwd: Writer 4.2 Guide Chapter 12 for review

[Sigrid Carrera]

Hi Peter,

I just checked if you have already an account on ODFAuthors. You had, but
you were missing some rights, which I fixed now.

If you are currently logged in, please log out and back in. Then you should
also have the option to retract a chapter (which means, that other people
see, that you have it checked out). This does not prevent them from
downloading it themselves, but at least they should realise, that they
might be duplicating some work.

If there are still some open questions, don't hesitate to come back here
and ask. The people working with the site for a long time might be blind
to those little things that make getting started easier for newcomers.

Thanks again for your willingness to help. ;)

 might want to take on Chapter 3 about Tables.


 Jean or Sophie (or Alan or Dan)
 Should i add a column for proof-reading?  I like the idea of skipping
 proof-reading the Base Handbook for this version, in the interests of
 expediency but now that it looks more possible should i add the column
 back
 in?
 Regards from
 Tom :)

 This completes the draft book. As soon as chapters have been reviewed,
 and revised as necessary, I will publish the chapters and compile the
 full book. Please note that any major changes suggested (that is,
 improvements rather than correcting errors) will probably be
 postponed
 to the next update of the book. Improving the book is a very good
 thing to do, but not at this stage of production... unless nobody
 (except me) cares whether this book gets done in a reasonable time or
 not. It's already very late.

   How do I choose a chapter to review? I am particularly interested
 in

 the

 forms area and would like to review this chapter.

 Regards

 Peter Goggin

  Sorry to be a pain but when I select a chapter how do I set so others

 know

 I am reviewing it and how do I tell if a chapter is under review?  My
 interests cover both the forms side (gui fort end) and the data base
 setting up tables, views queries etc.  As I was a database manager and
 designer for many years I have spent many hours dealing with both the

 front

 end (gui user forms and controls) and the back end data base design.

 Please advise me where you think I would be most useful.

 Regards

 let others know thta I am reviewing it , how do I down load the chapter?
 How do I submit corrections etc and then upload it?

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] duplicated messages from the list

[Sigrid Carrera]

Hi Milos,

your email you sent was in our moderation list... so you're not subscribed
with the account you were sending the message.

What I could imagine, is that you registered on Nabble with one (or more)
different email addresses and have registered there (by mistake) several
times. A registration on Nabble, does, as far as I know, not count as a
subscription automatically to the mailing list. So maybe check the
registrations on Nabble and see, if there are multiple accounts there for
you.

 Do you happen to know which software runs the list? I've even translated

 because it's a Plone site created from a buildout script the rebuild of

 with the mail-host should have been disappeared. I made a test with
 creating a new user and sending a link to reset and that worked fine

 There is no need to register to the ODFAuthors site to obtain this

  Hi,

 I have joined over the weekend and would like to have a login for
 ODFAuthors as well. I have found an issue in the v4 Getting Started Guide.

 The note on page 15 reads:

 On computers operating Microsoft Windows or Mac OS X, you can select to
 use the LibreOffice Open/Save dialogs or the ones provided by the computer
 operating system. See Open and Save As dialogs on page 18 for more
 information.



 However, Figure 8 on page 16 shows the native Linux Save dialog, so
 the note should read:

 On some computer systems, you can select to use the LibreOffice
 Open/Save dialogs or the ones provided by the computer operating system.
 See Open and Save As dialogs on page 18 for more information.



 Not sure which operating systems are supported for this. I will read the
 rest a bit later.

 Regards,

 HP

 Sorry, desired login is thecarpy, thanks!

No, it is not normal. In fact, I changed yesterday the workflow on the
website, and this was the result of this.
I quickly published all the language folders, so that you should be
able to see everything again.

What I did not do, was publishing the subfolders - that has every
language group now to do themselves.
First change state to internally published, once this is done,
change to externally published.

Then everyone can see those folders.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

 Clicking a file while in the View setting to the left of the green bar,

 I just don't seem to have this Add new... on the green menu bar

 Not a problem with permissions or suchlike I hope.

If you do, then I will need to talk with Andreas and ask which role

 Unfortunately the system keeps the file as 'checked out' and locked. Nor is

 assume).
 The file in question is Writer Ch11.

The file was the one in the folder To be updated to LO3.4, correct?
I did cancel it for you.

 I am actually happy to leave it locked as I do have a new one to upload. It
 does however raise the question of why the system does not release it if

No, you did not break it. :)

Hi John,

John Smith clicks...@yahoo.co.uk wrote:

 Hi.
 Again, a little help please.
 When Alfresco went down, I still had the Writer chapter on my machine 
 which I had posted there.
 
 On ODF, I locked the file Writer Guide  To be updated to LO3.4 
 Ch11. I've uploaded my copy of Writer Ch11 into the Feedback LO3.4
 folder of the Writer Guide.
 This leaves two copies of the Ch11 file in the To be updated to
 LO3.4 folder.
 One is the locked file, and the other is the 'working copy'.
 Do I leave these files alone or do I delete them?. How do I deal with 
 the locked file?.
 In the Actions menu for the locked file, I have the options to
 Cut, Copy, Delete or Rename.
 In the Actions menu for the the working copy, I have the same four 
 plus Check in and Cancel check out.

In the German team we use a similar system to what you're used to from
Alfresco. If you have used the check out and want to upload the new
file, you can do this in that way: 
- Go to the working copy, in the left side of the green menu bar (with
  View, Edit and Sharing click on Edit. 
- There you can add some comments about what you did, you can chose
  either to Keep existing file or replace file with and you can
  then browse to the corresponding file on your computer. Click on
  Save. 
- When this is done, you can then click on the Check in in the
  actions menu. Then the old file will be replaced with your new file. 
- To see earlier versions of the same file, you can click on the
  History link. 

So, now to your problem: 
Since you have your file already uploaded into the feedback folder,
just cancel your checkout. And I think you should be able to move the
original file from the To be updated... folder to the e. g. Old
Drafts folder. (I'm not sure if this is correct - look at the email
from Jean to see, how she had intended this). 

If you can't move the document through say Copy  Paste, just send a
note and I will do it for you. 

But I do think, adopting a similar workflow like I've described above,
would be a good idea. But this is a decision that the English team has
to take.

 HI.
 Can I have a little help please?. I'm still new and taking baby steps.
 
 1. How do I upload files to ODFAuthors? Jean set up my account and
 I've had a look around but can't see how it's done :-[ .
 With Alfresco still down, I want to upload the chapter which I'd put
 on there, but which obviously now is somewhere in the ether.

Do you want to upload a completely new document? Go to the
corresponding folder (e. g. Writer  To Be Updated to LO3.4). In the
green bar above the list with the files there is a menu entry called
Add new... with a arrow pointing downwards on its right side. Click
on this entry and chose then Document. Give a name, enter a short
description, browse to the correct file on your computer and when
everything is filled in to your satisfaction click on Save. That's
all.  

 2. On the ODFAuthors site, how does one mark the file as being worked 
 on. I can't make out the 'Change State' functionality. I'm looking at 
 the Writer folders here BTW.

You go into the folder, click on the document name that you want to
edit. In the green menu bar above there is a menu entry called
Actions. Click here and select Check out. This will automatically
create a working copy (and you will see a double entry for this
chapter!) The original entry gets an extra banner, saying that XYZ has
created a working copy on this date... 

Don't forget to download the chapter. :) 
 
 I had marked the chapter (Ch11 Writer) on the wiki as updated, so
 I've got how to do that ok.
 
 Sorry if this is a nuisance :-[ .

No, it's not. People asking how to do things gives us the chance to
improve our descriptions. :) 
I hope my instructions are clear.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Where can I get LO icon pix?

Hi Jean,

 I can screen-capture most of the toolbar and other icons if I need
 pictures of them for the user guides, but the results are not always
 very good.

 Is there someplace that I can get copies of the icons used in the UI?

according to Reginas endless knowledge, you can find icons here:

look in the following directory:

unpack the image*.zip files in installation\Basis\share\config
The command icons are in res\commandimagelist.

prefix s denotes small images, prefix l denotes large images. The
filenames give you a hint what it is about.

Depending on your keyboard layout, you might have to use a different

But this works quite well and it has never occured to me, that there

different.

If you have further questions, don't hesitate to ask again.

 going 
 to do anything to support Base so there is no point in documentation for it.  
 Apparently most linux users prefer PostgreSQL or MySQL/MariaDB (or Drizzle on 
 the Cloud) so it seems we should point people to those rather than Base.  
 

I don't understand your reasoning? Why wouldn't you want to write documentation 
for Base? You still need documentation, if you want to use Base as a frontend 
to connect to one of those databases that you mentioned. So, in my opinion, 
there is some need for user docs. We should definitely tell people, that the 
built-in database is not really secure, but that they can choose any other 
database they like. 

So, definitely not dropping. 

(My opinion, of course.)

 Hi :)
 I don't know what makes tagged pdfs different from normal ones but apparently 
 it 
 increases accessibility by making it easier for screen-readers.  Is it 
 difficult?  Can new releases of chapters be in odt and tagged pdf?  
 

no, it is not. It is just one checkmark, that you need to set. 
Go to File   Export as PDF to the tab General (I'm translating from German, 
so the wording might be different), look down in the section with the title 
General (again) and set the checkmark in front of Tagged PDF (it's the 
second option in this area). 

That's all, what you have to do.

[libreoffice-documentation] missing help entries - please correct the wording

[Sigrid Carrera]

Hello, 

on the german list there were reports, that there are missing entries in the 
help. I've written a few lines for the two entries, please have a look and 
correct the wording if necessary. Thanks. 


Sigrid



proposed texts: 


Allowing to save unchanged documents

This option allows to save a document that wasn't changed since you last
saved/opened it. This setting is disabled by default. 





Activating experimental features

This setting activates experimental - and therefore probably buggy - features 
in the program. This includes features like the macro recorder or the in-line 
editing of Math formulae. If you find any bugs, please check the support page 
in the online help. 

(A. Schnabel: The last sentence is a note for the developer to link to this
page.) 


Corrections to the wording is welcome.

 Hi
 
 I have installed Linux, Ubuntu 10.2.  I downloaded LibreOffice from PPA. 
 There is no option to use Galaxy in the Options  view.  Is this because I 
 have downloaded the version from the PPA and not from the LibreOffice 
 website.  Or is this because of Linux/Ubuntu.

If I remember correctly, Ubuntu has separate packages for the other themes. On 
person on the German list had the same problem. 

The links he got were the following:

[libreoffice-documentation] possible mistake in the getting started guide

[Sigrid Carrera]

Hi @all,

as you might know, the German team is in the process of translating the user 
guides. While doing this, we found the following text in the getting started 
guide, in the Calc chapter: 



Using selection lists

Selection lists are available only for text, and are limited to using only text 
that has already been entered in the same column. To use a selection list, 
select a blank cell and press Ctrl+D. A drop-down list appears of any cell in 
the same column that either has at least one text character or whose format is 
defined as Text. Click on the entry you require.



With Version 3.3.3, the key combination is Ctrl+Shift+D for the mentioned 
selection list. With 3.4.1 neither combination (Ctrl+D and Ctrl+Shift+D) has 
any effect at all. You might want to check with your versions as well and maybe 
correct the documentation - if not done already.

Oh, I forgot something: 
With 3.4.1:
Go to Tools  Options  LibreOffice Calc  compatibility
Change the settings for the shortcuts from default to OpenOffice.org 
compatible.
Then Ctrl+D will work. With the default-setting, the key combination has no 
effect. This might be worth mentioning within the user guides.

 Hi,
 
 the new combination is alt+arrowdown, at least for the German UI. For 
 me that seems not userfriendly (2 hands required), additionally it's not 
 mentioned in German LOCALHELP.
 
 The LOCALHELP tex for alt+arrowdown, alt+arrowup seems to be wrong, 
 it should decrease increase row height due to Help text, but it does not.
 
 alt+arrowleft / alt+arrowright dercrease / increase column width as 
 I read in LOCALHELP.
 
 Can someone check, maybe file a bug report (and add me to CC, if he wants)?

I've opened a bug report:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39137

But, after opening the bugreport I read another mail from Nino, where he says, 
that after changing to the OpenOffice.org compatible mode (you'll find this 
under tools  options  LibO Calc  compatibility) the key combination with 
Ctrl+D works for the selection list. 

In a blog post, Kohei Yoshida, the developer who implemented this feature, 
mentioned a few more key bindings that change with this setting: 
Delete
Backspace
Ctrl+D
Ctrl+Shift+D 

see: http://kohei.us/2010/10/15/key-binding-compatibility-options-take-2/

But he also mentions, that this list might be growing over time.

 When you have finished revising the expostion, we can copy it into a

  But again, there is no harm in asking...
 
  As to pasting: the unformatted paste (Ctrl+Shift+V) is often more useful
  when pasting the clipboard contents from different documents, especially if
  different apps were used.
 
 Thanks for the reminder. I forget about that keystroke combination, a
 very useful one.

And if you use CTRL+ALT+Shift+V then you insert unformatted text immediately 
and won't get the popup window (or dialog) asking you what you want to insert. 

I hope this is useful to some of you

 Use of Microsoft Copyrighted Content
 Published: April 26, 2005 | Updated: November 13, 2009
 
 Microsoft products and services—including images, text, and software 
 downloads (the content)—are owned either by Microsoft Corporation or by 
 third parties who have granted Microsoft permission to use the content. 
 Microsoft cannot grant you permission for content that is owned by third 
 parties. You may only copy, modify, distribute, display, license, or sell the 
 content if you are granted explicit permission within the End-User License 
 Agreement (EULA) or License Terms that accompany the content or are provided 
 in the following guidelines. For more information, consult your copyright 
 attorney.
 
 Requirements for Allowed Uses 
 
 For permission to be granted for any uses allowed by these guidelines, you 
 must comply with the following four requirements:
 
 1. If your use includes references to a Microsoft product, you must use the 
 full 
name of the product. When referencing any Microsoft trademarks, follow the 

General Microsoft Trademark Guidelines.
 
 2. You must include the following statement: Used with permission from 
Microsoft.
 
 3. Your use may not be obscene or pornographic, and you may not be 
 disparaging, 
defamatory, or libelous to Microsoft, any of its products, or any other 
person or entity.
 
 4. You may link to Microsoft content by using either a plain text link with 
words such as This way to Microsoft.com or by participating in an 
applicable Link Logo program. No other images may be used as a link to a 
Microsoft site.
 
 
 And between a lot of other regulations you'll find this: 
 
 
 Screen Shots
 
 You may not use screen shots of Microsoft product boot-up screens, opening 
 screens, splash screens, or screens from beta release products or other 
 products that have not been commercially released. You may use other screen 
 shots in advertising, in documentation (including educational brochures), in 
 tutorial books, in videotapes, or on Web sites, provided that, in addition to 
 the requirements above, you:  
 
 1. Do not alter the screen shot except to resize it.
 
 2. Do not use portions of screen shots.
 
 3. Do not include screen shots in your product user interface.
 
 4. Do not use screen shots that contain third-party content.
 
 5. Do not use screen shots that contain an image of an identifiable 
 individual.
 
 Point 2 disqualifies the use of Windows screenshots already. 


I forgot one more point: 

Point 1 of this list does not allow us to add arrows or circles to make clear, 
about what we're talking about. (This modifies / alters the screenshot, and the 
only modification allowed is resizing). And I used arrows and circles quite a 
lot already in the first chapter of the getting started guide (and the english 
team did too) ;) 

@Marc
I saw your post on the design list and mentioned this point there as well. But 
I thought it's important to know for all the guys here too.

[libreoffice-documentation] Getting started guide - chapter 1

[Sigrid Carrera]

Hi, 

while translating, I found the following note in this chapter: 

Under Microsoft Windows you can use either the LibreOffice Open and Save As 
dialogs or the ones provided by Microsoft Windows. See “Using the Open and Save 
As dialogs” on page 18.

You can find this note on page 17. 

But my comment is, that even under Linux, I can choose if I want to use the 
LibreOffice dialogs or the Linux dialogs. There's not much of a difference 
between the two OSes. And I suspect, that you can choose also for BSDs and 
MacOS. So maybe this note should be removed? Or at leas reworded.

[libreoffice-documentation] [VI] Consistent theme for screenshots

[Sigrid Carrera]

Hi, 

Bernhard Dippold has sent this message to the design list and asked to forward 
the message to other relavant lists as well. 

Please send answers only to the design list.

Sigrid

--- Begin forwarded message ---


Hi all, 

Marc mentioned a certain UI theme for screenshots in the documentation 
team [1], there is another thread on [hidden email] about the best UI 
theme for their documentation [2], Italo wants screenshots that serve 
our Windows users [3] and the wiki recommends screenshots for the 
website with a different theme [4]. 

In my eyes it is quite important to find a solution that fits all our 
needs in documentation (and its localizations), marketing material, 
website, press kit and any other place we need screenshots. 

Consistency is a relevant part of Visual Identity and therefore I'd like 
to ask you all provide your thoughts on 

1) how such a UI theme should look like 

2) what other conditions should be met 

3) which existing UI theme would serve best as standard for screenshots 

Do you think these 3 questions could lead to a consensus on a theme to 
be used? Should we add more points? 

I'd like to see this discussion to take place here on the list - and 
send invitation mails to the teams involved in such a decision 
(documentation [Sigrid told be she would take this part], website, 
marketing, accessibility, projects, de-discuss) to join this discussion. 

Feel free to spread the message to any other team you think should be 
involved in this topic. 

Best regards Bernhard

 Sorry for not following the thread, but since the changeover of mailing

 My only remark in regard to choosing a theme, other than the usual ones
 of it being printable in shades of grey if required, visible to the
 visually impaired, etc, is that the choice of theme for screenshots
 should be available on ALL platforms to which we cater.

As I've mentioned on the de-discuss list, the Clearlooks theme (the one
I like the most) is available for several desktop environments and
Windows. See also the (very short) article in Wikipedia:

 I agree with this. I went to the docs team page, and found a link to the
 mailing list, and then these two links:
 
 http://alfresco.libreoffice.org
 
 http://documentation.libreoffice.org
 
 If you go to those two pages, and you don't have an account, it's not clear
 what you need to do. Those links are very spare landing pages, and they
 don't show you how to access the current documentation, or how to start
 contributing.

As far as I remember, you have to write to the list here and ask for an 
account, since self-registration is not enabled. David or someone else with 
admin rights will setup your account and mail you the details directly.

 The problem might be related to saving in ppt, not odp. Does the file
 save ok to odp? Sounds like from what you say, saving to odp has
 problems too, so ppt may not be an issue. 

I've read the thread on the users list. The problem occurs, when the file is 
saved as odp. The inserted links don't work any more. They still point to the 
correct file, but in order to get it working again you'll have to remove the 
link and insert it anew. I can see, that this is really annoying, if you have 
about 400 links. (Updating/refreshing the links does not work - the user has 
already tried this.)

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Joining the documentation team

 Dear LibreOffice documentation team,
 
 If you're still looking for contributors,  I'd very much like to get involved

 documentation for your Open Source  project. 

always. There are never enough people to do all the work. :) 

 I have a degree in English 
 Literature, and before I finished  my studies I worked for 10+ years in a 
 market 
 research firm, where I was  also frequently called upon to do translations 
 and 
 proofreading and to work on the  copy-writing for project reports and 
 questionnaires, so I have a little  bit of previous writing experience 
 (though 
 not specifically 'technical'  writing). Most of all, however, I have a 
 growing 
 interest in the field  itself, so I am motivated,  eager to learn and willing 
 to 
 spend the time to become more familiar  with the craft. Plus, I believe in 
 the 
 Open Source philosophy (I've  benefitted myself) and would like to help  
 advance 
 the project. I can work in both English and German.

That sounds great. What do you prefer? Working in English or German? If you 
want to help with the German guides, please have a look at 
http://odfauthors.org and read what you find there. If you have more questions, 
don't hesitate to ask them - eithere here on this list or on the German 
discuss-list disc...@de.libreoffice.org 


 If there is a chance that I can become part of LibreOffice, I would love to 
 hear 
 from you! Been following the thread and got the impression that proofreading 
 documents may be the place to get started.
 Best wishes from Munich, Germany,

Sure, there is a chance for this. 

Welcome again and have fun!

[libreoffice-documentation] Chapter template

[Sigrid Carrera]

Hi, 

we've translated and adapted the chapter template, that Ron created some time 
ago. 

In this process, one of our reviewer noticed, that there is no style for 
footnotes in the template. We added this for our template, but you might want 
to add it to the English template as well.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: synchronization of ODFAuthors and alfresco

Hi Karl-Heinz, all,

2011/2/1 Karl-Heinz Gödderz libreoff...@gukk-online.de:
 Hi Alexander, @all,

 first thank you for you kind answer instead of cutting my word as David did.

 I think you got my intention to give a connection between those two
 systems .

 (comments see below)

 Alexander Thurgood schrieb:

 So only newbies on LibO would use alfresco and the others want to stay
 with ODFAuthors.


 I do not consider myself a newbie with regard to the documentation
 project, yet I will be using, or at least experimenting, with Alfresco
 and its workflow for any French or English documentation I might
 produce. As an example, I am currently working offline on the Getting
 Started with Base translation into French. I do not feel forced into
 using Alfresco at all, the simple fact of the matter for me was that I
 found OOoAuthors and the workflow far too confusing for it to be of any
 use to me. However, that is my personal choice, and I'm certainly not
 going to impose it on anyone else.




 I'm also not a newbie and also got an account on both systems. Therefore
 I perceived that problem.

 I have seen no pressure from anyone here to use Alfresco, I don't feel
 under pressure to do so, I will try it because I want to. If it doesn't
 suit my needs, I can just go back to doing it by myself and making my
 documents available through other channels.



 I read some mails stating that all ODFAuthor documents should be
 integrated into alfresco as soon as possible.

 And some answers given to the French NL-team seemed me the same problem.

I think, what would help is a mechanism like we have on ODFAuthors. If
a chapter is published (in other words, final) then you don't even
need an account on the website. You can just go there and download it.

If such a setting would be possible in Alfresco as well, then we don't
need to copy the files into the wiki and from there to ODFAuthors.

This would not require any extra work from any person at all.

 Hi Karl-Heinz, :-)

 It's not a subject we're going to look at for the moment. There's a
 lot more urgent stuff to do. We need to focus on workflow, and getting
 some urgently-needed documentation done.

 Like I said before, we can look at the issue further in the future if
 a *genuine* need is proven. For the moment, this seems to be simply an
 idea of yours alone.

What is an idea of Karl-Heinz alone?
If you don't want any translations into other languages just say so. I
think, we can manage to get documentation of our own.

 Would you care to explain how and why you feel hindered ? For the sake
 of those who may not know (I certainly don't, for one)

Oh, when I said I want to proofread some documentation, I was told,
that whatever I correct, has to be proofread again by a native english
speaker. So clearly, my contribution there was not welcome.

Why I feel hindered? I can't get the documentation from the Alfresco
site. I don't have an account there and honestly, I don't want one.
Only the bits, that are transferred to the website. There's no
information here on the list, what's done, so I can't get a timely
translation ready. And then his comment, that the question from
Karl-Heinz was just one persons own wish and that he doesn't want to
work on improving the the communication between the two systems is
quite discouraging.

I think, that this shows, that he cares only for the english
documentation and not so much (I'm not saying nothing!) about the
international one. Only about the documentation teams, that are
willing to join him on Alfresco server, the other teams who don't want
to use it, can see for themselves, where to get the needed
information.

 Hmm, I wouldn't consider it like that, perhaps you are taking things too
 personally. If I write documentation in French, or German (which I can,
 I just don't do it very often), I would expect a native mother tongue
 speaker to proofread and correct it as necessary. Obviously, if no one
 volunteers up to do it, then well that's just tough and the document
 would go live with all its faults and potentially awkward turns of
 phrase. Even if I were to draft in English, I would at least expect
 someone to go over it and check for spelling mistakes, dropped words,
 brain outages and the like, just for the sake of completeness. I don't
 find that hard to accept, if the final document reads well for the
 intended audience.

Perhaps. But from the tone of that said email I got the impression,
that my work isn't wanted. If I translate something say from German to
English, yes I would want someone else to proofread, because I am too
much in German grammar mode and I know, that thhis is not how a native
English speaker would write that content. But I am quite confident,
that when I edit a text, that has been created / edited by a native
speaker, I won't change grammar.

 Ultimately, it would only take one person to have an account there to be
 the go-between. On the other hand, why doesn't ODFAuthors have something
 like you are suggesting for those working with Alfresco ? The effort
 works both ways IMHO. Why should those who want to work with Alfresco
 have to have an account with ODFAuthors ?

They don't. Jean is nice enough to announce when there are chapters
done and ready for rebranding. Heck, the last set was uploaded by Jean
to Alfresco.

 Ideally, both systems could either have liaison officers, or some form
 of automatic notification system. I don't really see why the onus should
 be on the Alfresco system to do so when ODFAuthors does not (as far as I
 know, but please correct me if I'm wrong). Or, as I mentioned in my
 other post, the native language projects could have their own wiki page
 which would keep people abreast of who is doing what - this would
 require the documentation authors to submit what they are doing to the
 LibO wiki page native language coordinator or update it themselves. The
 French N-L group already have such a page.

That's right. A wiki page would be good. But this also means, that the
wiki page needs to have the documents in question. Just a list saying
I'm working on this document doesn't do it if I have no idea where I
can find the original document, that I'm going to translate.

 One thing that I'm not sure of at the moment is the discussion that's going

 on how to move forward. I don't want us to do a bunch of work that will have
 to be changed. Maybe someone else on the lists can help.

AFAIK, we used for the OpenOffice.org guides the Glider theme, that
is provided by Gnome. This means, many people have it, even if they
use different distributions. I also have somewhere a note, which theme
was used, if you have KDE installed instead of Gnome.

Found it:

Colour: Colour scheme plastic
window decoration: plastic;
Extras (Additions):
 surrounding size: very small
 title position: left ;
 Buttons: Userdefined  Position
 active in title bar
Style: plastic

(Note, this is a rough translation by me from German, you might want
to use your imagination) ;)


Hope this helps.

PS: If you look at the screenshots on de.libreoffice.org you'll see
how the glider theme looks - I took those pictures using this theme.

[libreoffice-documentation] Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Translating ODF files on Pootle

[Sigrid Carrera]

Hi Sophie,

I have just one question regarding the document you used:

2010/12/26 Sophie Gautier gautier.sop...@gmail.com:
 Hi all,


[...]

 I've worked on the first chapter of the OOoAuthors guide for beginners. I
 used WordForge filters [1] to convert the file from .odt (ODF file format)
 to .xlf (XLIFF file format). Both are standards, so it should be easier to
 have a good conversion. Several tools manage off line translation for Xliff
 file format, like WordForge or OmegaT, there may be others I don't know too.

Did you use the OOo version or the file, that was already adapted to
LibO? The latter can be found in the tdf wiki on this page:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation

Chapter 1 is considered to be finished, so it is already offered as
pdf as well. ;)

I just noticed some paragraphs, that weren't in the LibO version like
the explanation that OpenOffice is a trademark owned by someone else
and so on So, if we were to use Pootle for translation I think it
would be useful to use the already adapted file as our sourcefile.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Problem with Chapter 1

[Sigrid Carrera]

Hi,

I've downloaded the chapter after your second note, that you did
accept all the changes. When I switch to Edit  Changes  Show, I can
see all the changes. So I am a bit confused.

I have scanned the document and two things I did notice:

- The links to the website: I would change them in such a way, that I
remove the test from the link name.
- The password protection: This has changed in OOo - you can protect
the whole file with a password, so that you can only read it, when you
have the password. And the new option is, that you can protect the
file against changes. I haven't checked, if this new feature is
present in LibO, but if it is, it should be mentioned in the guide
too.

 I did check the oooauthors website for your name. I found, that you

 Try to login with this username - if you don't remember the password

 Hi Sigrid,

 That really is very strange, because as you said you do have manager
 rights (and all the other rights), just as you have had for years. I
 have now checked your permissions and they haven't changed.

They were changed. I only had the manager role and nothing else. I
changed this and logged off and on again.

 You could clear your browser's cache and/or try a different browser, but
 you have probably thought of that already.

I did neither, but I did tell my browser to do a true reload. But I
will try again later at home.

 Here are two direct links into the folders where the LibO GS files are
 stored. Can you see these folders and files from a direct link?

 http://www.oooauthors.org/english/libreoffice3/getting-started/draft-lo3.3

 http://www.oooauthors.org/english/libreoffice3/getting-started/feedback-lo3.3

On my netbook those links work for me and I can see the files in there.

 The files Ron has worked on are in feedback-lo3.3; the ones he has not
 done yet are in draft-lo3.3.

 If all those suggestions don't work... I have no idea what's wrong! You
 can get the same files directly from the LibO website, but that does not
 solve the mystery at OOoAuthors.

 Last thought... you said you can see the Review List. Do you see a bunch
 of LibO files on the list? What happens if you click on them? Can you
 get to the LibO folders that way?

I thought of going through the review list, but even there, I don't
see any LibO related files. This is indeed very strange. I am using
the same browser (chromium) on both computers. I will try again once
I'm  back home. ;)

[libreoffice-documentation] documentation at oooauthors

And when I entered the name manually, I only got the message, that the

Does anyone have an idea, what I could try? Or were the documents there

 I never thought about people with limited bandwidth--I guess I don't

 PDF/ODT and include that in the LibO install so the users don't have
 drain their already limited internet.

Lucky you. I do care about the bandwidth, because I in fact have a
really crappy internet connection. My connection breaks down quite
often, so I have no internet at all. I have a reasonable connection at
work, but there I can't do LibO work at all. So a method, that allows
me to work on a document offline would be much appreciated. ;) 

 Also--who creates the included help file within LibO? Is the
 information separate from from the ODT docs?

As far as I know, the help file within LibO/OOo are separate. They are
different from the user guides we produce at OOoAuthors. I have never
helped with translating those files, but I guess Sophie or André (or
someone else) could tell you more about those files. They are part of
the source code.

[libreoffice-documentation] remark for the readme-file

[Sigrid Carrera]

Hi David,

I've checked again the readme-file you've uploaded.

I've tried to follow the instructions you put down and I got the following:
For Mandriva, you can't use something like:

 su -c 'urpmi libreoffice3.3-mandriva-menus-3.3-1.noarch.rpm'

With this command, the systems looks in the wrong path and gives you then
the error message, that the command cannot be found. Instead, you have to do
this in two steps:
1) Switch user (su (press return), enter your root-password (press return))
2) run urpmi (copy the command from the readme: urpmi
libreoffice3.3-mandriva-menus-3.3-1.noarch.rpm)

This applies to all commands for Mandriva.

I agree that this is stupid, but at least, we avoid questions from users who
get the above error message.

 Exactly so... I can't see her changes even then... :-(


That's weird. I had both things activated.

What I did was this:
I saved the file under a new name - to not overwrite the file from David. On
the wiki, I clicked on Upload a new version of this file and chose my
file. Maybe something went wrong here, because the file did not have the
same name? At least, that's my guess.

Can anyone else comment on this? Should I have kept the old name?
Thanks for further comments.

 Sigrid sent it to me directly, I have the changes visible now. I'm
 working on some additional corrections at this moment.

 My instructions for installing a language pack do not work... Can
 anyone put me right about that?


I am surprised. Your instructions for installing the languagepack were the
same as for installing the software. What might be, is that you have to
change the UI setting. I think I mentioned this in my edit of the readme as
well. Go to Tools  Options  Language Settings  Languages. You can choose
a language for the UI, the default locale setting (affects the decimal
separator and the default currency).

If I remember correctly, I had to change these settings after installing the
german language pack, so for me it wasn't done automatically.
