Re: [libreoffice-documentation] [odfauthors-webmaster] Glossary and Memories
Yes, the Italian localization team is using OmegaT to translate the guides, and there are glossaries and memories available. Valter Mura and Luca Daghino are the people to get in touch with, through the Italian localization mailing list. I can easily put you in touch with both of them.

[libreoffice-documentation] ODFAuthors login
Hi Peter G :) Hopefully someone will register you at ODFAuthors soon. They hopefully send you the login details such as username and password privately. You might be able to change the password to make it something that hasn't been sent over the internet by email (not a hugely high risk for something like this but it is possible). Do you have a preference for username? Something fairly short is usually good. We already have at least 1 Peter, but sometimes seems like we have many more.

ODFAuthors is a website that is available to several groups if they choose to use it. At this time, AFAIK, only LibreOffice makes much use of the site. The team of people writing, editing, etc for the LibreOffice user guides are in fact the LibreOffice Documentation Team, using the ODFAuthors website for convenience. A small number of people (of which I am one) maintains the ODFAuthors website, sets up accounts for new members of the LibreOffice Docs Team, and so on. To further confuse everyone, the printed copies of the books are published by yet another organisation, Friends of OpenDocument Inc., which also publishes other groups' and authors' books. Friends keeps separate accounts for the various groups and individuals who use its services. Yes, the ODFAuthors website is primarily for the *production* of user guides and other documentation, not the distribution and sale (which are primarily done elsewhere). I'll look into improving the front pages to make that more obvious. --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@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/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] ODFAuthors
Hi John :) Which version do you want to have deleted? The older one or the newer one? or not sure? I'm sorry about the muddle that was caused by Alfresco going down. We thought it would be a smooth update! Thanks for helping pull the team through the muddle by getting your chapters up onto ODFAuthors so quickly. Pretty much everyone has to have their work checked / proofread. I think Jean is able to proof-read her own sometimes but just having a fresh pair of eyes helps make things a lot smoother. Similarly for filing and infra-structure. It's team-work that pulls everyone through. Hardly anyone has all the right answers all the time! Sigrid is also being a total star and very much appreciated!

[libreoffice-documentation] ODFAuthors
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".

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] ODFauthors
Hi :) Most of my questions about this have been answered already, thanks :) TDF is likely to spend the money required to become a member of Oasis. It would seem that it would be dumb not to. My questions were to gauge how tightly integrated ODFauthors is with TDF and whether it might be appropriate to help them gain membership, perhaps at a reduced rate or as part of TDF. All the answers in this thread indicate that there wouldn't be much point and that ODFauthors could pursue this separately if there was any point. The gravitas of an organisation can increase when it can show that it is members of or supported by or just working with other relevant organisations. Almost like a quality mark. But it sounds as though that would be the only benefit to ODFauthors and for the price-tag it wouldn't be worth it. I've learned a lot about ODFauthors and it's all good :) Regards from Tom :) From: Dennis E.

Dennis, thanks for the clarification. I tend to use the word "code" as shorthand for a whole cluster of things that are more technical than I ever get involved in. I did know that OASIS is about standards, not implementation code, but IMO few if any people who aren't into code in some form (e.g. macros in depth) would get involved in standards for a format. --Jean On Sun, 2011-06-19 at 18:30 -0700, Dennis E.

RE: [libreoffice-documentation] ODFauthors
I want to erase a misconception. OASIS is a standards development organization. Their work products are specifications, not code. The closest to code are schemas (in Relax NG in the case of ODF) for the XML structures that carry the ODF document representation. The specifications do require expertise, but the intention is that someone "skilled in the art" could independently produce a conforming implementation without having to look at any code of an implementation. (That's the ideal; I think it is safe to say that the ODF specification is still a bit immature in that respect. It will improve over time.) Programmers might or might not be inclined to do what it takes to digest one of these applications and provide QA and clarifying text improvements. Fewer seem inclined to engage in the task of creating such specifications. While the first-line of users are adopters of specifications in implementations, it is desirable to have participation of others, just as it is important at Apache and TDF. It is just that the bug reports are not about implementations, but questions and comments on a specification. People here who participate in the OASIS OpenDocument TC include Regina Henschel, who has been diligent in reviewing and questioning definitions of spreadsheet functions in ODF, and Thorsten Behrens, who does bring a strong implementer perspective. Charles Schulz of TDF is on the OASIS Board. There may be others but I've recognized these three in recent contributions on this list. - Dennis PS: I'll wager that the ODF specifications themselves have not been a topic of discussion among ODFAuthors. I'd be delighted if they were, though there is a distance from what the format is and users experience of software that supports the format. -Original Message- From: Jean Hollis Weber [mailto:jeanwe...@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, June 19, 2011 16:03 To: documentation@global.libreoffice.org Subject: Re: [libreoffice-documentation] ODFauthors On Sun, 2011-06-19 at 22:23 +0100, Tom Davies wrote: > Hi :) > > ODFauthors only cover LibreOffice and OpenOffice but there name suggests they > might expand to cover other projects?

[libreoffice-documentation] ODFAuthors: Some information about filestorage
Hi all, I give some information for those of you, which are interested a bit in the technology behind the scene. We are using a Plone 4 CMS instead of the older 3.3.5. There are a big change about the way Plone is saving binary files now. In the past every thing was stored inside a big database. But now this files are saved in a blobstorage on the file system. Thus the database is much smaller and the CMS (DMS) works much faster. We can get the binary files (e.g. ODT or PDF) from the filesystem as well now.

[libreoffice-documentation] ODFAuthors-Site: offline from Monday Feb. 7 evening to Wednesday Feb. 9 evening
Hi all, the ODFAuthors-Site will be offline the next week from Monday evening (Feb. 7) to Wednesday (Feb. 9) evening due to a necessary patch. This patch will be published on Tuesday next week. I currently don't know how long it takes to install the patch (and because I'm very short at spare time on Tuesday), this may last up to Wednesday evening. I'll inform you, when every thing is done and the site is online again.

[libreoffice-documentation] ODFAuthors vs Alfresco vs others
Hi, I would like to clarify the different initiatives taking part of the LibreOffice documentation: - The ODFAuthors (exOOoAuhtors) is the oldest initiative, hosted now by TDF, who has proven its capacity to produce and federate members by the guides and books covering all the suite it has produced. Several of our members are part of this initiative since a long time and they work on several languages. - The Alfresco initiative is just born, pushed by David Nelson and has, for the moment and due to his very young age, produced nothing. It aims to work on dedicated LibreOffice documentation on different forms. It his hosted by David Nelson and supported by TDF. - I'm pushing another initiative dedicated to t9n using xliff file format on Pootle to allow TM and glossaries. This initiative needs to be evaluated and pushed or abandoned following the feedback of the translators. Even if the ODFAuthors initiative has proven his ability to federate and convey users to our project, this should not prevent other initiatives to take place. Each initiative is welcome if it constitutes an emulation and not a competition et if it contributes at the openness and complementarity of the participations. Members get the same merit whether they participate to one or another and are respected at the same level. These initiatives are here to provide choices and our contributors will be free to choose the one that better answer their wishes. Other initiatives will take place in the future and they will be welcomed and evaluated in the same way. I hope this is clear for every body and I will add an introduction of the different initiatives on the welcome documentation page of the wiki.

[libreoffice-documentation] ODFAuthors-Site with workflow
Hi all, I worked with Jean and Sigrid on a new Plone4-CMS with a workflow for the authors of documentation. This site will become a substitution of the current OOoAuthors site. The title and URL of the site changed, because it should be a "roof" for documentation-authors for OOo as for LibreOffice and because the CMS is located on a resource of the DocumentFoundation / OOoDeV. There is a section for LibreOffice inside the new CMS. The site provides also a workflow, that is currently the same as on the current OOoAuthors-site. This workflow can be changed, if necessary. The URL of the new ODFAuthors site is: http://www.odfauthors.org or http://www.odfauthors.com You can create an account on the site yourself. If you want to get the author (editor) rights on the site, please ask on this list.
