[libreoffice-documentation] LibreOffcie help wiki
Hi good people I was just wondering how I can get a log in to the LibreOffice help wiki? I've bumped into a few things that need some work. I simply couldn't find anywhere to register for an account.

That would take longer than the simple FR, right? The AltSearch extension might be of help here.

I don't know how to maintain a localization on a wiki and in the product at the same time, so if you know any ways to achieve it, please, just tell us and we will use it.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] LibreOffcie help wiki
Good hear that the wiki will be opened up once the technology is in place. I think the way that the LibreOffice help links to the wiki is a great start - now we just need the wiki to work for us when we see something that needs attention. I'm the kind of editor who will often check things in the online help and just correct any mistakes or unclear phrases used. So going through a bug filing process to correct documentation? No thanks. I sometimes get swamped with the bugs I track already. I'll keep my ears open for the solution when it arrives.

Just to make things clear: I do know how much work it is to manage such a software as LibO. Precisely, don't you think that opening to the masses by unlocking the wiki might help? My 2 euro-cents.

Then how do you manage the localization work flow in the wiki? How will you maintain the help files in the product in the different languages? Of course, that will save everybody's time to get a solution, but I'm not aware of any.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] LibreOffcie help wiki
These questions should be directed to Shaun McCance since he's organizing the Open Help Conference for June. So I've CCed him. Shaun we're talking about how to manage documentation wiki in multiple languages - what solutions are there and is LibreOffice aware of them? Perhaps you can reply with the names of some projects we should be aware of?

Shaun we're talking about how to manage documentation wiki in multiple languages - what solutions are there and is LibreOffice aware of them? Perhaps you can reply with the names of some projects we should be aware of? I'm not sure I'm necessarily the person to ask. I'm not the one making LibreOffice documentation happen. I'm just trying to bring people together, so they can all share problems and experiences just like this. Many projects do a sort of hybrid wiki/controlled documentation approach. For instance, Ubuntu has built-in help (much of which comes from upstream projects) which they also build out to the web. Then they also have their community documentation wiki. I think theirs is English only though. The Mozilla Developer Network does have multiple languages, but I don't know whether they do it with message-based translations or all-out new content for other languages. I think their site runs Mindtouch. And of course, though it's not documentation, Wikipedia is the most successful multi-lingual wiki ever. I'm pretty sure their non-English content is written from scratch, not translated. I don't know if they've got tools in place to make it easier to borrow content from and track changes to pages in other languages. I don't want to push any technologies here. But I'm happy to share my experiences or connect you to people who can share theirs. -- Shaun -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/documentation/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Open Help Conference
Hi Hal, *, Am Samstag, 26. März 2011, 00:33:44 schrieb Hal Parker: (...) This sounds like a good opportunity, if anyone can get there. Do we have any active documenters/ help producers in North America? And would TDF be willing to pay the US$100 registration fee and travel costs for one or more attendees? I don't think that the TDF will pay currently for this. The TDF is no legal entity at the moment. It had to be set up (legally) and then the board of the TDF can create a finance plan that hopefully covers some travel expenses in its marketing section. At the moment you should search for a sponsor, if you want to attend an event and don't want to pay everything by your own.
