Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Help pointing to TDF wiki
Well just reading some unread messages now... I will move the French FAQ pages in near time as discussed on the fr ML. I'm preparing my bot (checking the source code as this requires some modification on AWB that I will hopefully be able to push upstream!) and with this run I wanted to move also the other FAQ pages (EN, German, zh-hans, etc.) to FAQ. Is there now a consensus about moving to uppercase or not? (Faq looks ugly, Thunderbird is marking it as typo, and is simply not right, my 2C...)

If we do start to link to pages under Faq* as documentation, perhaps we should establish some kind of template for those pages (e.g. This page is now in official docs...do not move or rename this page without going through some process) As I've mentioned previously, I think we should come up with an overarching gameplan for all of our documentation, just so that users and others who get confused easily (such as I) can keep track of it all :-) Cheers, --R * It would be nice to use /FAQ instead (looks like something is hard-coded there -- I pinged cloph about fixing it) -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: l10n+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/l10n/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
