Re: [libreoffice-documentation] LO Math Help

2013-11-11 Thread Jean Weber
Glen,
The help files at help.libreoffice.org are a copy of the help files
supplied with the LibreOffice program itself). AFAIK, they are
created/reviewed/published by the developers and translators, due to
the requirements of tools used in the process. The best person to ask
is probably Sophie Gautier, whom I have copied on this note.

My guess is that, at this time, the best way to contribute your work
is through the Docs wiki, from where it can be picked up and reused by
the Help team. We can certainly make a place for it on the wiki,
either in wiki format or in ODT/PDF format -- or all of those. What
form is your list in now?

 Thanks for the note Tom.

 As I mentioned in my previous email, I would like to help creating
 documentation for LibreOffice. I have created a list of common constructions
 for LO Math (exponents, roots, matricies, integrals, limits, piecewise
 functions , etc) and some common formulas (Pythagorean Theorem, quadratic
 formula, slope, binomial expansion, etc).

 As far as I can tell, these would belong here:
 https://help.libreoffice.org/Math/Math_Examples

 The odfauthors.org website appears to be setup for creating and review
 libreoffice docs. What process is used for creating/reviewing/publishing
 parts of help.libreoffice.org?

 What would be my next step in contributing this work?

 Thanks in advance,

 Glen

 Hi :)
 They are allowed and most people prolly can deal with them but it's best

 The links worked for me and i suspect people reading using a plain-text
 email-client were prolly able to deal with those links so don't worry
 about
 it this time.  I tend to try to put urls on a new-line and then start
 another newline immediately afterwards.  I've seen people put full-stops
 and other punctuation after them which messes up the link whereas the way
 you did it inside a tag-bracket prolly means people didn't have trouble.

 Thanks for asking! :)

 Hi,
 I would like to help with LO documentation. I noticed that help has been
 requested creating examples of LO Math (herehttps://wiki.
 documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development#
 Wish_Lists_for_Documentation). Would this be a stand-alone document, or
 in the wiki herehttps://help.libreoffice.org/Math/Math_Examples?

 I was thinking of a doc that is similar to programming by example. There
 would be a few sections (Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, perhaps). Each
 section would contain a table with rows like this:

 Display   Command
 [Actual LO Math Image]LO Math Commands required to generate that
 image

 By the way, are html messages acceptable on this list?

My list is in ODT format right now. I would have no problem putting it 
in wiki format. Thanks for passing my note along to Sophie Gautier.

Glen,

If you'd like to make your list available for content review and
comment in its present form, you could put it on ODFAuthors and/or on
the wiki. For ODFAuthors, I'll need to create an account for you (let
me know if you'd like me to do that); for the wiki, you can create an
account for yourself.
