Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Ubuntu Community Documentation
Hi Johnny, :-) Well that could be one approach. But the documentation we have is still very much a work in progress. We'd be continuing to work on it, and you'd have an out-of-date copy. It would be particularly sad since we are about to re-do *all* the screenshots in the docs. They're currently mostly taken under Windows. The plan is to re-take all the screenshots under Ubuntu 10.10. And that's just one of the tasks scheduled. We'd love to keep you with us, Johnny. It seems like a sad duplication of effort for you to be documenting LibreOffice over there while we're doing the same thing over here. :-D When you wrote to me asking me where to start, I mentioned that the best thing would be to write to Hal and Barbara on the list, because they are the people with the closest view of the work right now. Me, I've been busy dealing with Alfresco, plus I've also had client work to do that has meant that I've not actually been doing any documenting recently. To make up for that, I had volunteered to re-take all those screenshots. But, for instance, this could be one task you could help out with, Johnny. Hal, Barbara, can you guys organize Johnny and me and point us both at some work, given that you know best where we are with things right now? By the way, we already have a couple of meta tasks we need to get done: 1) We need to finalize a LibreOffice versioning system to maintain in the meta info of each file we work on. 2) We need to finalize the chapter template.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Ubuntu Community Documentation
Hi Johnny, :-) In any case, it's great that you're an Ubuntu user. Me, too. We can perfectly well divide the screenshooting (screenshotting?) between us. For the desktop theme, I'd go with the default Ubuntu theme. The tool I'd use, unless you have a better suggestion, would be gnome-screenshot. In LibreOffice Options General Open/Save dialogs, we should activate Use LibreOffice dialogs. Let's wait for Hal, Barbara and whoever else to post back and then figure out a work specification all together (what's needed, sizes, etc.) . I'll be free to work on this Saturday or Sunday.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Alfresco site offline?
Hi guys, Sorry, I'm very tardy in replying, I've been absent a few days, and have been somewhat occupied, as you will learn. I've got some good news and some bad news for you. First, the bad news. After having done some particularly-inspired configuration work on Alfresco, it came crashing to a halt and died. This was the admin's human error, not Alfresco's. All attempts to fix the problem over the past few days have been fruitless to date. If anyone is curious and wants to download a backup of the crashed site, you can get it at [1] - a juicy 759 Mb. It contains everything from the system: database, file system, the currently-inaccessible data, etc. There is a completely new and working Alfresco installation on http://alfresco.libreoffice.org and http://documentation.libreoffice.org, but all user accounts are going to be have to be recreated.. I will do this as from Friday. After that, I'll start rebuilding everything. But I currently have no assurance of being to recover *any* data. Oh, did I mention good news? Again, I should point out that this was 100% human error and no malfunction of Alfresco's. Alfresco has proven so far to be extremely stable and reliable on the server, and the performances are now quite reasonable. This disaster happened in the same way that a perfectly-working car will drive into a wall if you point it in that direction. Now that the domain names have rolled over to the libreoffice.org domain, I'm planning to contact the Alfresco project and try and get them involved as a partner in configuring and customizing the site. For the next 24-48 hours, I'm busy and won't be heard much, but I'll be working on things over the weekend. You can imagine how humbly I offer you all my apologies.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] about alfresco platform
Hi, :-) On Wed, Mar 30, 2011 at 11:02, Hal Parker halparke...@gmail.com wrote: David Nelson can probably tell you better than I can, but this is what I understand. The Alfresco site is intended to be a place for people to work on documentation for LibreOffice (ODFAuthors is another place). When documents are published, they are made available to users through other websites, such as the wiki or the LibreOffice.org website or a separate Alfresco site that people do not need to log in to. Different language groups can set up their part of the Alfresco site in any way suits their preferred workflow. Alfresco could be used as a document and content storage repository by just about any team. At the moment, it's being used regularly by the English docs team. You have two URLs for Alfresco: http://alfresco.libreoffice.org and http://documentation.libreoffice.org. Documentation could be worked on and then theoretically be published to the world directly from http://documentation.libreoffice.org. But the TDF wiki is currently the final point of publication for files, with links to those files also being posted on the libreoffice.org site (http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/) During the recent reinstallation, I set things up so that a space named after each language code constitutes the main point of entry to content in that language. The way a language team wants to set things up within that space is entirely up to them. If a team wants, we can simply replicate the English space, so that they can start with the same content and structure as the English docs team, and then work with that as it is or else adapt it to wishes. If a language team wants help setting up a space and structure, I'll be happy to help out in any way needed or do the job for you.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] I'm working on Calc Guide
Hi, :-) Since I've begun with LibreOffice, there seems to be a split between the n00bs who joined on with LibreOffice and the old-schoolers who have been up and down since StarOffice, and what is the best way to work toward LibreOffice documentation. I just want to see one big happy family working in a coordinated way. In light of the recent developments at Oracle, and the perhaps timely personal disaster we have experienced with our Alfresco workflow being reset, I wonder in which direction the community will go. Is Jean Hollis Weber willing/able to modify her accepted plone setup to not rely so much on OpenOffice.org workflow and getting started documentation? Is David Nelson going to re-emerge as the driving force behind Alfresco? Is there going to be some consensus reached as to what is the real and proper way to document LibreOffice? I wonder in which direction the community will go. If a leader emerges, I will follow. If one doesn't emerge... we need a leader. I'm still around, but have been taken up by daily life for the past month. However, I get mail notifications of document additions, edits and updates on Alfresco (these will be sent to a dedicated public mailing list as soon as the notification templates are configured to contain more-useful information than at present). I now have a lot more time again. Personally, I plan to focus on configuring and developing the Alfresco platform as my first task, working from suggestions and discussion from the English docs team and interested localization people. Alfresco has many potentials as a working tool, for documentation work, for localization work, and for other areas of the LibreOffice project / TDF organization too. I continue to see it as an ideal tool for LibreOffice documentation, and want to get the Alfresco project involved in helping us get the most out of it quickly. I probably need to do more communication about Alfresco to the LibreOffice lists, so that people get a better understanding of what it can be used for. But, obviously, no-one is obliged to use Alfresco if they have other preferred tools and methods. In any case, I'll post again soon with more Alfresco news and ideas. As regards LibreOffice English/localized documentation, whatever platform is used for docs team work, we recently discussed the need to finalize a document reference system. Notably it needs to be platform independent (fields contained in document meta data, for instance). That would be something we should do pretty urgently, IMHO.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Documentation Team Leader?
Hi, :-) I think that I'd prefer just to talk of a role acting as a responsive central contact rather than a team leader as such. People can be highly active and available some of the time, but need to pull back a bit at other times to deal with other things. So I prefer the leadership to float and simply fall de facto on the most-active member(s) of the team at a given moment. IMHO, each contributor should feel liberty of action and freedom to take a lead role in an initiative, without feeling they have to defer to an official or unofficial team leader. I like the way people have been discussing and negotiating together about work, without any one person feeling they have a weightier opinion than someone else. On balance, I'd say no to a permanent team leader at this time. -1 David Nelson -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] application for document writer
Hi Parichay, :-) When working with Alfresco, you need to distinguish between your own personal workspace, where you can add anything you want, and the various project workspaces on the platform (where you can add stuff that's ready for the team to continue working with). People will be able to see all stuff in any space, and download it. When it's publication-ready, it will be copied from the Alfresco platform to the LibreOffice wiki, where it will be listed there and on the main LibreOffice website (libreoffice.org). When you do work, it's best to come and announce your plans/intentions here on the Documentation mailing list, so that other team members can advise you and be aware of what's in progress. Insofar as you use the Alfresco platform for your work, there is not currently any acceptance process. What will happen is that another team member will take a look, and probably do the next work task. We'd only roll back your upload and reject the work if there was some dire problem with it. Again, when you finish work, post a message here to let people know - although there will be a public commits mailing list reporting work on the Alfresco platform operational in an unfinished form later today. Parichay, it's great to have everyone possible putting work in on English docs, but I'd also urge you to go on the l10n list and ask about localization work. It is likely that there is no-one working on content for your mother tongue. Speaking personally, I've always felt that, insofar as possible, it's best to have mother-tongue writers doing the authoring, otherwise there is an extra job for us of post-editing to weed out grammar errors, etc. Although it is true that there tend to be more exceptions to this principle with English, as it's a widely-spoken international language. But, in any case, don't let that discourage you from contributing to English content if it attracts you more than working with your mother tongue. More info about localization work is here [1].

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: Documentation Team Leader?
Hi, :-) My 2 cents: @Jean: I think you have many excellent qualifications to *compete* to be team leader. @Jean, all: But I don't think a team leader could be properly appointed at this time. Plus, a team leader should only be appointed by team vote after a competitive process. And the term and roles of a team leader would have to be clearly defined beforehand. A team vote by the Engilsh docs team should only be conducted among recognized and active English docs contributors who are accepted LibreOffice community members. The basic principles of the community bylaws would really suggest that. The MC has only just started work on intaking community members, and so the subset of approved community members and active English docs team contributors is still very fuzzy and evolving. The English docs project could only benefit from a period of competitive contribution between contenders for the team leader position, and there are a number of people that I can think of who have excellent qualifications (Jean included). In around six months, the LibreOffice project and, certainly, the English docs project would then be in a much more mature situation, and a defendable vote could then be held. To date, I have noticed that every single active contributor to EngDocs (I just coined a tag for the team name!) has a tendency to need to go MIA from time to time to deal with other stuff in daily life (disappear off in the bush). And there has been quite some churn among the contributors. So you couldn't really take a proper vote at this time that could credibly be proposed to and defended before the SC. @Jean: if the situation has now changed for you and you feel able to put contribution to LibO EngDocs before your work for ODFAuthors and OpenOffice.org, then that's really superb and what I've encouraged you about for a long time, on- and off-list. I'll be extremely happy to collaborate with you on your ideas and proposals for the LibreOffice documentation project, and to contribute helpfully to the work as much as possible. @Jean, all: But, personally, I'd say let's put off the idea of any team leader until September or October, and work as from now on organizing a proper framework for things (the EngDocs project generally, and the possible appointment of a team leader).

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: Documentation Team Leader?
Hi Jeremy, :-) I have simple stated my 2 cents on things. I don't really see why people have to get so intense about things, and why a subject and different opinions can't be discussed without a confrontational element creeping in, not to mention personal unpleasantness! Some of you guys really need to learn some Zen. :-) I am only one human being, and at the time I was working on the LibreOffice website - an urgent need for the project at that time - I did not have *much* time for contributing to docs, although I did respond to every inquiry and question on the docs mailing list. At the time, some people were pretty grateful for the fact that I practically dragged libreoffice.org forward to live status, almost single-handedly. But all that gets forgotten pretty quickly! :-D As regards the Alfresco server problem, it was extremely unfortunate about the problem that occurred with the original Alfresco installation, and you can imagine I felt pretty bad myself. But you just have to count it as part of the learning curve and move on. Now Alfresco is being backed up externally to a TDF server every 3 hours, in addition to complete server backups three times a week to an off-site location. In addition, I've contacted the Alfresco project to invite them to help us get the best out of Alfresco within a short time frame. I'll post about that as soon as I have more news. BTW, I have responded to the backlog of mailing list stuff having accumulated over about 4 weeks, and have responded to direct mail, too. Notably, I have responded to every inquiry and request concerning Alfresco. Anyway, I've stated my opinions above in this thread, without unpleasantness or rudeness to anyone, and I stand by them. I'm pretty thick-skinned, and am perfectly able to take a lot of flack from people, as well as give it back in reasonable measure. And I still believe in LibreOffice and intend to keep working with the English docs team. So you can expect to keep reading me on this list. ;-) David Nelson -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Documentation Team Leader?
Hi Ron, all, :-) On Wed, Apr 27, 2011 at 11:40, Ron Faile rmfa...@bellsouth.net wrote: What is needed is someone tactful who will not try to control the group, but guide and help it along. That's what is needed most. And that is what I find lacking in David. No offence intended, that's just my opinion. No offense taken. Although I was a little surprised as I'd never seen myself as trying to control the group. Lacking in tact? Well, my own perception would have been that, as a general rule, I wasn't but that we can all lapse there from time to time. On the other hand, it was precisely the reservation I gradually developed about Jean (no offense intended by myself either, this is just an explanation). I originally tried to persuade Jean to become team leader. She has lots of technical qualifications for the role. But I have occasionally read, and been the subject of, some quite irrascible posts by her on subjects that did not really merit such a response. So I ended-up with the POV that she was somewhat lacking in some of the interpersonal gifts needed, and having a few qualms about what her management style would be like. Like you, Ron, I really detest disagreeable mailing list discussions. When I was helping out with the work on the community bylaws, it was specifically me that wrote-in the clause: Every Member is expected to deal with other Community Members and with our end users with courtesy, forbearance, objectivity, open-mindedness, friendliness, understanding, patience and goodwill. I'd be very happy if we can all carefully bear the above in mind when posting to the list. But let's see how things evolve. If the active English docs team members decide that she should take a leading role, I'll be happy to collaborate and cooperate in equinamity. However, you'll probably have read my thoughts about the best timing and conditions for team leadership in the originating thread.

I'm wondering if this sort of thing is a flip-of-the-wrist for Jeff Potts in a native Alfresco report?

So it's still somewhat of a work in progress... Indeed, I ran into a couple of alternative sets of instructions around the Web that were geared towards a particular Linux distrib, that made the original instructions I wrote on the wiki look extremely complex and cumbersome...

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] New Project
Hi, @Renata: thanks for the info. @Klaibson: OK, I downloaded the book. It *somewhat* resembles the installation guide and Getting Started guide rolled into one, so maybe it would be a duplication of effort to translate it into English. But it's a very useful tool for Brazilian users. Great job, and thanks for doing that for the Brazilian / Portuguese community. :-) -- David Nelson -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@global.libreoffice.org 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] Help needed?

Since the Document Foundation is so friendly to let me use all this fancy software for free, I thought it would be rude not to give it a try. My name is Rik De Busser and I'm a linguist at the Academia Sinica, a research institute in Taiwan. Unlike many of you, I am a relatively recent convert to LibreOffice: I only started using it three months ago to write a book. I have experience writing (boring academic work) and can do some simple graphical work. For my job I have to try to find out how to make LibreOffice do all kinds of fancy stuff anyway, so Tom pointed out that I might as well write some of it down. I'm not really sure if that makes me a useful person to you, and I am also not certain yet how much time I will be able to spend, but I'm willing to give it a try. No idea what exactly I'd have to do... Well, thanks for the offer. There are plenty of areas you could get involved in.

Hi David, On Tue, Jun 14, 2011 at 00:20, David Paenson davepo...@googlemail.com wrote: Hope something useful comes out of the automatic translation, though I'm very sceptical about that. Well, I just fed it through Google Translate. If one is used to dealing with mangled English, it would potentially be possible to use the result and rewrite it into correct English - although very time-consuming. But it would be just as quick for an experienced translator of German to do a faithful, high-quality translation - or it might possibly be quicker if one takes into account the formatting work also involved. Google Translate is not yet at the point of putting efficient translators out of a job... Moreover, it's going off-line as a free service later this year... I must admit that I wouldn't have time for this job myself in the coming months, as I'd see myself working on developing alfresco.libreoffice.org and contributing to the large quantity of work already waiting to be done on existing English-language LibreOffice documentation.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] My plans
Hi Jean, On Sat, Jun 11, 2011 at 18:42, Jean Weber jeanwe...@gmail.com wrote: I am no longer interested in doing the organizing, coordinating, and other admin work that the documentation team needs to be done, and after all these years I am tired of trying to either do the user guide updates or get people to do them. Well, your expertise would certainly be missed, although I can understand how you feel. It's funny but, during your absence, I had been thinking about posting to you on the list and suggesting that we might team up, you and I together, and divvy up the work on the existing documentation. I had thought that if we worked in coordination together, largely under your guidance, we could get a lot done with 1 to 2 hours of work per day each (5 days per week, for instance) over the next couple of months. But it's also true that, since I've taken on the commitment of operating an Alfresco platform for LibreOffice, I can take on a lot of the mundane drudgery you're talking about - in fact it would even form a natural part of the job. So when I get back from this trip in a few days I plan to start working seriously on what interests me most, which is writing new material on more advanced topics. Some of this will find its way into the docs blog but most will be longer items that will eventually be part of another book or two. My books will be under creative commons license so they can be made part of the official docs if others want them. Well, I'm sure you would/will produce some very valuable material. It's true that knowledge and experience such as yours may well be ideally utilised working on advanced topics that require the kind of knowledge of the product that many other docs team contributors - whether occasional or one-time - simply don't have. I do hope some people will finish reviewing the Impress Guide. The Draw Guide Is being done. The Math Guide still needs rebranding but I think is otherwise ok. Well, there are people who have been/are now working on the Impress guide and Getting Started guide. Myself, I'm still in discussion with the Alfresco project. There are some interesting ideas in the air, but it's not yet clear whether they will have time to undertake a major configuration/customisation job on alfresco.libreoffice.org/documentation.libreoffice.org, or whether they might simply act in an advisory role. In the second case, I'd be looking at doing the work myself - maybe with help from Jeremy and Samphan, depending on their availabilities. So, all that being said, are your plans still the same? In any case, I hope you are having/have had a good break. :-) -- David Nelson -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@global.libreoffice.org 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

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 a note, I contribute to both Gnome and Ubuntu docs, so my free time is limited, but I do want to be aware of what's going on in LibreOffice docs. I think a member of your group is also on the Ubuntu docs list. :) Well, Tom Davies is signed up there, and I'm also signed up to the Ubuntu docs list, although I don't read it much right now (too much else pouring into my mailbox). I'm an Ubuntu user myself, with 11.04 running classic Gnome rather than Unity. On the English docs team wiki index page, it recommends people to post to the mailing list to make contact with the team. I, or one of the other Alfresco admins, then expeditiously create an Alfresco account for the new contributor and support them in getting down to work. The Alfresco platform is currently requiring some configuration work to really get the best out of it, although it's a fully-operational and usable facility just as it stands at this time. We have a conversation on-going with the Alfresco project about this. In any case, work will be started within the coming 2 weeks. Then a guide will be updated to provide better information. Until that time, I try to be as responsive as possible as regards people's questions here on the list, whether about Alfresco or whatever other docs related subject, as do some other regular docs contributors, so please feel free to ask whatever you'd like to know. -- David Nelson -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@global.libreoffice.org 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
[libreoffice-documentation] Alfresco: brainstorming on development of workflows, user groups, etc.
Hi, I've been in a mail conversation with the Alfresco guys, notably Jeff Potts (Chief Community Officer). Jeff is going to give me some mentoring, and I am going to get started with the practical implementation work as regards configuring/customizing our LibreOffice Alfresco platform. If someone else wants to give practical help with this, they are most welcome at any time. Jeff is also setting-up an online meeting with the developer of the currently-dormant OOo plugin for Alfresco so that we can explore how to update it and get it operationally working with our current LibreOffice version. This is scheduled to take place during the week of June 27. Depending on how this initiative develops, we might possibly be able to envision integrating it into a workflow for the English docs team. I'm going to post on our LibreOffice devs list and discuss the project there, too. So the first practical step will be to establish with the English docs team exactly what our needs and expectations are. Looking back at past threads on this list, I guess we can already list the following: * configure user groups with properly-configured powers; * develop informative e-mail alerts for added/removed/edited content; * develop automated workflows for the English docs team (which could be subsequently replicated for other language projects to manage their own docs work, if they express interest). In connection with this, we'd need to establish whether docs team contributors prefer the classic Alfresco interface exposed at http://alfresco.libreoffice.org or the newer, revised heavily-Ajax-powered powered Alfresco interface exposed at http://documentation.libreoffice.org, or whether both should be available simultaneously, as at present; * develop a special world-facing site on documentation.libreoffice.org and/or media.libreoffice.org to be a showcase and download point for the platform's content for our end users; * optionally, depending on how things pan out, configure our Alfresco platform to properly function with the OOo/LibreOffice plugin for Alfresco, and integrate that functionality into the EngDocs workflow. Please could I hear your comments and suggestions about the above? Once we get some kind of requirements spec figured out, the actual practical work can start ASAP. -- David Nelson -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@global.libreoffice.org 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
