   Thank you!

   I'll try again later; hopefully those wiki maintainers' changes will
have taken affect now  ;-)

Anne,

 

Oops, looks like the Wiki maintainers have removed the graphical
CAPTCHA.  The "math problem" performs the same function and allows
screen reader assistive technologies to function (although easier to
circumvent).

 

So, solve the "math problem" and complete the registration (if you've
not already done so). Then navigate to the QA pages and  edit to put
your name in the pool.

 

http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/QA_Team

 

Unfortunately, one more hoop for you to complete will be to ALSO create
an account on the Bugzilla system hosted by Freedesktop.org-I would
strongly recommend you keep these two sets of credentials in sync so you
don't confuse yourself. 

 

Create the account here:

 

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/createaccount.cgi

 

The Document Foundation bugs and requests are all filed under the
LibreOffice Category on the hosted service-but you'll have access to all
product and project Categories of the bug reporting/tracking system so
it will be a little overwhelming.  Just pay attention and be methodical
to make entries in the correct category. You'll get help, but not a lot
of hand holding.

 

And a big thank you for Volunteering.

 

Stuart

2012-10-08 Thread V Stuart Foote
Anne,

 

Oops, looks like the Wiki maintainers have removed the graphical
CAPTCHA.  The "math problem" performs the same function and allows
screen reader assistive technologies to function (although easier to
circumvent).

 

So, solve the "math problem" and complete the registration (if you've
not already done so). Then navigate to the QA pages and  edit to put
your name in the pool.

 

http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/QA_Team

 

Unfortunately, one more hoop for you to complete will be to ALSO create
an account on the Bugzilla system hosted by Freedesktop.org-I would
strongly recommend you keep these two sets of credentials in sync so you
don't confuse yourself. 

 

Create the account here:

 

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/createaccount.cgi

 

The Document Foundation bugs and requests are all filed under the
LibreOffice Category on the hosted service-but you'll have access to all
product and project Categories of the bug reporting/tracking system so
it will be a little overwhelming.  Just pay attention and be methodical
to make entries in the correct category. You'll get help, but not a lot
of hand holding.

 

And a big thank you for Volunteering.

 

Stuart

Anne,

Correctly completing the CAPTCHA ("Completely Automated Public Turing
test to tell Computers and Humans Apart") is your key to establishing an
account on the Wiki site maintained by the Document Foundation.

We all have to pass that test to establish an account. And then, as we
all do, you must authenticate with your personal account to make edits
or add new content to the Wiki.

Have a read of this Wikipedia site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAPTCHA

Have you attempted to create an account per the first link? (Upper
right hand corner)  And do you have cookies enabled?  This is under
Firefox 15.0 on linux.  Where are you getting this "math" from?  There
is no math involved and no mathematical answer required.

I am just an end user without the knowledge required for QA work but
had no trouble joining the list.  Just followed the directions!.

[libreoffice-users] query re. volunteering w/ LO

2012-10-04 Thread anne-ology
   Back when I received this response [2nd below], I attempted to
follow these steps -
   but found that #1 is impossible; there is no 'math' problem
which is to be answered in order to log-in  [WHERE is this to be found?]
   Therefore, the log-in merely goes round and round, stating this
error, yet never explaining HOW to correct this error  ;-(

   After trying - and with the same results - half a dozen times, I
wrote this Joel back - [1st below]
   a few days later, he finally responded but ONLY to having
received my e-mail, rather than responding to HOW to log-in.

   When I initially offered to help, I did so in good faith, yet now
I'm thinking that either that initial letter and/or his response was some
joke;
   I'm asking this list for their thoughts and possibly an
explanation to this;
  I happened to notice that some from this list, were listed on
that log-in page  ;-)

   I've been attempting to sign in -
  clicking on the URL in #1 below only to uncover various problems:
  the latest and most consistent is probably due to not
answering some math question -
 I've clicked on each link on this page yet have not
located the problem nor the blank to fill in???

   I don't understand.
