Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: How do you spell open source ?
What other projects use OpenSource and in what context? I'm not familiar with that usage, and it seems very strange to me. --Jean On Wed, Mar 6, 2013 at 12:34 PM, Tom Davies tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: Hi :) Grrr, oh no! Ah well.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: How do you spell open source ?
A popular general-purpose American style guide--The Chicago Manual of Style--would likely prefer using the hyphenated form when used as an adjective (such as in general-purpose in this sentence). Otherwise, not. Gary On 3/5/2013 10:48 AM, Marc Paré wrote: Le 05/03/13 10:26 AM, Rainer Bielefeld a écrit : Marc Paré schrieb: Do we use open-source or open source or opensource ?

RE: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: How do you spell open source ?
It is a local style agreement of course. Open source almost always works. In some English language practice, hyphenation is sometimes used when the term is placed as a single adjective, as in formerly open-source software. Confusion is unlikely in the open source case, and the OSI makes no use of it. For documentation, it would be valuable to create a style guide for what is desired for consistency. - Dennis Some writers, such as myself, use that hyphenation systematically. That might (or might not be) an aid to translators. Another case I find for hyphenation is in making gerunds as in The bean counters were busily bean-counting. Executives prefer estimation to actually counting beans. -Original Message- From: Marc Paré [mailto:m...@marcpare.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 05, 2013 07:49 To: documentation@global.libreoffice.org Subject: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: How do you spell open source ?

We have a style guide (Chapter 5 of the Contributors' Guide) , and open source (two words, no hyphen) is in it. (See the section titled Commonly used words.)
