Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: Documentation Team needs reviewers for 5 chapter of Writer
Hi :) I'm learning too and there have been quite a few new people just recently signed-up, so hopefully it helps other people too.

I thought the idea of checkout is to be sure no one else would checkout at the same time. Kind of like a file lock.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] review help
Hey Gary, Have you had any luck getting started? If not, I'll see what I can do to help get you onboarded. Thanks for offering to help, I know we could use it. Best, Joel On 09/19/2014 04:17 AM, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) It sounds like you might be happier with doing proof-reading rather than reviewing - at least for Base. For Base that is especially useful. Most of the other guides have been largely proof-read many times already. There are always new things added and it's always possible that someone new might spot an even better way of saying something but the Base Handbook has hardly ever been proof-read in English. As far as reviewing the Base Handbook goes it might be trickier for you to do later chapters but earlier ones might be fantastic if they've not been done already. With Base, unlike other modules/programs/apps in the suite, the later chapters might depend on you having followed through earlier chapters so that you have the same sample database set-up. I'm not sure if it's possible to just jump straight into later chapters. Also since it's all so new it might be useful to start off by doing one of the later chapters in the Writer Guide first, just to get used to the work-flow, how the team works, how ODFAuthors works and generally settle in a bit before jumping further into new territory. However, it is your choice and whichever way you go is going to be very useful!

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).

[libreoffice-documentation] Recent request/advert on Users Mailing List
Hi :) Just after Jean put out the email requesting people to proof-read the Writer Guide i sent a new email to the Users Mailing List pleading for new people to join the Documentation Team. I've done the same things many times before but this time seemed to get a lot more results than usual. I'm not sure why. I'd tried copying Joel Madero's style which appears to have been a huge success for the QA Team. I think it helped that we had a very focused task and that i pointed out this team works by each person taking on just 1 chapter at a time. With Joel's call to join the QA Team he set-up bug-hunting weekends, or other very short time-limited periods so that people could join in, try it out, and then walk away knowing they had achieved something concrete and good for the project. Err there were a couple other things he was able to do that i couldn't. There are other places were we could try this sort of approach. Jean set-up social-media channels and a blog. There is also the Ask LO bot thing which i've never got to grips with. I'm not able to post to any of those and have an aversion to most but if someone else wants to try Joel's approach on those then we might get even more people joining. On the other hand maybe i just got lucky with good timing. Errr, i suddenly felt guilty because of the whole mythical man month thing (sorry, i know that's sexist) so i have been trying to help the new people find their feet quickly. I'm not sure if i helped or hindered or sent people off on wild goose chases or what. I'm hoping i helped! Good luck all!

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

I'm still trying to figure out the conditional content. I have gone over it about 20 times and somehow it isn't clicking for me. I can do the steps, but somehow the part about triggering the choice/condition is just isn't making nay sense to me.g Regards, On Sat, Sep 20, 2014 at 5:28 PM, Tom Davies tomc...@gmail.com wrote: HI :) I cant get to a KDE desktop until Monday and even then it's the same one you are using, ie Kubuntu 14.04 Just out of curiosity was that LO pre-installed (or from the repos) or did you download it from the LibreOffice website?

On Windows and Ubuntu 14.04 they seem to work fine. Ctrl+F2 should bring up the Insert Fields window, but it isn't doing that. Should I ignore this? Is it unique to me?

Quality assurance on documentation is desirable, but if we hang around indefinitely waiting for people, it means nothing gets published. Chapters are here: http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/writer-guide/drafts-v4.2/ We haven't heard from JohnS in over 2 months, so I'll go through the chapter (number 12) that he had checked out; I've changed the status on the Tasks page. That will be the last one to complete this book. (And I do hope John's okay.) No, I'm not going to spend my time trying to find other people to do the reviewing work. This list has a lot of people on it. If everyone's too busy, that's understandable. If you're waiting for a personal invitation, someone else will have to fill that role. If you're not sure what reviewing is, read Chapter 2 of the Contributors Guide, here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development#Contributors_Guide Note that you do NOT need to be any kind of technical expert -- what you do need is to follow the instructions in the chapter and see if they make sense and if the illustrations match the program and the text. Big deal, eh? It would be nice if you also correct any errors you find, but the most important thing is to identify the errors. You do NOT need an ODFAuthors login to download these files; I've made them available to all. You do need a login to upload any amended files, or you can send them directly to me and I'll upload them. If you don't want to amend files, you can send an email to the list itemising what you've found. --Jean -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: documentation+unsubscr...@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 -- Kevin B.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Base Document - Forms
When i bring up my version of LibreBase the menus are somewhat different to those in the documentation. I was unable to find the forms options described. I downloaded my copy from the ubuntu repository. It says it is libreoffice-base 1:4.2.6.3-0ubuntu1. There are a whole heap of optional extras which I did not download initially. 1. Is this the right version of the database software, i.e. the one the documentation is intended for? 2. Do I need all of the optional extras? I intend to work my way through the document , page by page to ensure that whatever it says can be done works as described.
