Hi David, David Nelson wrote on 2012-08-03 20:56: version of Alfresco Community). The server gets backed-up once a week from my side, and Florian Effenberger was intending to run hourly back-ups onto a separate TDF server - I'm not sure if he actually got around to that, but I'm CC'ing him this mail just in case, because it would be an excellent precaution to implement. I just checked, and right now, the machine is *NOT* backupped as far as I can tell. I'm Cc'ing Alin, one of our sysadmins, who is in charge of the (new) backup system. Alin, can you check if rsnapshot still does a backup of media/alfresco.libreoffice.org and if so, disable it there and add it to BackupPC? Best is to discuss offlist with David for the required credentials. Florian Effenberger, Cedric Bosdonnat and the TDF sysadmins have all the info to log in and take action at OS level, as does Jeff Potts. There's still one e-mail from you from early May (sic!)

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Contribution (Alfresco)
In the past, Jean has said she'd be perfectly happy to work with Alfresco if there was documentation to help her, That is true, but I am more concerned about having documentation to help other contributors use Alfresco effectively as part of the documentation workflow. This requires not only knowledge about how the LibreOffice implementation of Alfresco woks, but also knowledge about the Docs team's intended workflow. --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] Contribution (Alfresco)
Hi Jean, Sanket, On Wed, Aug 1, 2012 at 6:17 PM, Jean Weber jeanwe...@gmail.com wrote: knowledge about the Docs team's intended workflow. Well, yeah, I should have said that it's not so much Jean that needs the documentation, it's more a question of getting new contributors up and running quickly and efficiently, without their having to come back and ask the same beginner's questions each time. So, what we really need is - as far as the docs contributors are concerned - is a good contributor's guide for Alfresco - initially for the docs team. In reality, this would become a section in the main docs team contributor's guide, which covers other aspects of docs team contribution than Alfresco. Drafting that guide entails liaising with the docs team and the docs team leader, Jean, and establishing what the workflow would become when usage of Alfresco is integrated, and then establishing what configuration work needs to be done on Alfresco to fit-in with then need. In reality - at least IMHO - we don't need to devise any Alfresco workflows as such. It could end up being constraining for the docs contributors. My own cogitation on the subject came to the conclusion that Alfresco's out-of-the-box functionalities already provide some great pluses. Also, by not asking them to fit-in with an Alfresco workflow, we leave the docs team flexibility to gravitate to a workflow naturally, progressively as they start to really adopt Alfresco and get used to it. IMHO, simply using Alfresco in much the same way as Windows Explorer or Gnome's Nautilus already leverages a lot of what Alfresco has to offer, while being pretty easy to learn. But these are simply my own initial views, and all needs to be validated by consulting with the docs team, and in the light of the experience of knowledgeable Alfresco specialists. Subsequently, after addressing the needs of the docs team contributors, we need an admin's guide. And then we would also need a *generic* Alfresco user's guide for users coming from other teams within the project. I'm pretty certain that when we have those assets, people generally within the LibreOffice project will be a lot more open to adopting Alfresco. Ultimately, we might also look at the idea of requesting a VPS or other server from TDF and implementing the Alfresco platform on there. I say this because I'm currently the provider of the VPS and the only regular admin, and I wonder whether this isn't a brake for some people... However, I'm also very happy to go on providing the Alfresco platform and server for the project if other people are happy with that solution and don't feel reluctant to use the tool under those conditions. Anyway, Sanket, I think this outlines the work needed at the present time. I'll leave you to reflect on the matter, And, once again, we'd be very happy to count you as one of the staff. :-) -- David Nelson -- 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] Contribution (Alfresco)
Hi David, Trust you are well and had a good weekend. It was nice to see you reply and seems like you've already quite far ahead with your implementation. Yes, my offer for help is still stands open. I can perhaps start with the general administration and move on to more advanced coding/backend stuff once I understand environment well enough? I'm pretty much comfortable with the fully cycle - administration/installation, configuration, development and even documentation. I think it would be best if you can advice me - whats on your priority list and I can get cracking?

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Contribution (Alfresco)
Hi :) I had a quick glance back but only as far as mid-Aug 2011. Couldn't find the one i thought i remembered. The only other name i could find was Christian Lohmaier and i think he is a famous LibreOffice person. I sent him a quick email to see if he remembered anything. I found the email that Jean was referring to when she said that commerce@ was the best address. David said that lists@ was read occasionally but commerce@ got read even if he was snowed-under with clients.
