Minor correction in terminology: "other team members might wish to include some additional identification." Should have read: "other team members might wish to include some additional *or alternative* identification." On 15/09/2020 16:22, DaveB wrote: > Hi Peter, > > Sounds good. There are a

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Proposal for a change to the NextCloud workflow

Hi Peter, Sounds good. There are a couple of things we need to clarify/finalise; Would you be kind enough to put forward a proposal for the file naming convention to be used for the new workflow/structure? I would be happy with something like "GS7001 Introducing LibreOffice #1.odt" but you and

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Proposal for a change to the NextCloud workflow

Hello Dave I shall trial the new folders for th Draw Guide 7.0 having just created the skeleton of the guide. In other words, creating chapters using the 7.0 template and posting in basic information. It is not so onerous doing the two guides. More than half go the Draw Guide is already done.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Proposal for a change to the NextCloud workflow

Thank you, Dave, for clarifying the process further. Now that I see the process more clearly, I think the changes would be very helpful for the workflow. Best, Sam. Samantha Hamilton darling docs [image:

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Proposal for a change to the NextCloud workflow

Hello Dave and Samantha I am with you and agree to the proposed changes, despite having slight disagreement about folders. Work in Progress is definitely the best name for a working folder. Archive folder fits the bill perfectly. File naming is the only thing that bugs me. Adding the date

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Proposal for a change to the NextCloud workflow

I think ultimately this is a discussion about versioning and collaboration in a program (NextCloud) that is not a collaborative version control site. I think that simplifying the folder structure would be helpful to organize the iterations of a document, but it would also mean that the file naming

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Proposal for a change to the NextCloud workflow

Hi Peter, I am not particularly concerned about the naming of files, my only real interest is that there is a simple straight forward and reliable way to identify the last edition of the file and where a previous edition of that file exists, it can easily be researched and/or recovered. All files

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Proposal for a change to the NextCloud workflow

Hello Dave Another thought to help in keeping track of files and this comes from the day when I used to earn money in tech writing. First draft of a file and its filename use a sequence number and the creator’s initials, for example IG7005-ManagingGraphicObjects-01-PS.odt. First review of a

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Proposal for a change to the NextCloud workflow

I think this process is much easier than the current process. Further more it would be more consistent if alt the guides use the same process. DaveB schreef op 11.09.2020 16:18: For the benefit of those who were not part of yesterday's team meeting, or haven't yet read the minutes. I put

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Proposal for a change to the NextCloud workflow

Hello Dave Could please add that the creator and reviewer of a chapter MUST add their initials into the filename. For example IG7005-ManagingGraphicObjects-PS.odt as I am the creator of the file. If you review this chapter, then your initials are added to the filename
