Hi :) If i had a vote i would vote for the wiki. There is a previous iteration of the Handbook but the wiki doesn't have a previous version at all yet.

Hi :) It might be worth sending a mail to the Users Mailing List to recruit new people for the specific task.

[libreoffice-documentation] Upcoming Bugzilla Migration
Hullo Documentarians! As some of you already know, QA is migrating the project's bugtracking activities to a separate instance of Bugzilla: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bugzilla/LibreOffice_Bugzilla_Proposal All user accounts, data, etc... will be transfered-over, and we expect that our users won't notice a thing, aside from the name and url change. In preparation, I'm working on updating all of our internal docs and resources to point to the new domain 'bugs.libreoffice.org', and replace references to 'FDO' and 'Freedesktop.org Bugzilla' with more generic 'Bugzilla' or 'LibreOffice Bugzilla' references. The domain bugs.libreoffice.org has been pointed at bugs.freedesktop.org, allowing us to change references today and then have a transparent switch-over on the day of migration. I'm not sure how many FDO references we have in our documentation, but I'd appreciate it if the Docs Team could update these references or point me in the right direction to make these updates myself.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Upcoming Bugzilla Migration
Offhand I can't think of any mentions in the user guides, but I'll check. I'm sure there are some mentions on the Docs wiki somewhere, or in resources like the Contributors Guide. I'll check the latter, and hopefully others can track down any mentions on the wiki -- or might recall or be able to find any mentions in other user docs. --Jean On Mon, Nov 18, 2013 at 4:11 AM, Robinson Tryon bishop.robin...@gmail.com wrote: Hullo Documentarians!

Hazel Hard to choose; IMO both are high priority, so it's really up to you. Finishing the Calc FAQs is certainly a good thing to do. More general comment to other team members: there are other French FAQs and tutorials to be translated in English, if you feel comfortable doing that.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: Version 4.1 Draw Guide, Chapter 9
Preston, Can you do translations from either French or German? Otherwise, what interests you from the list in my earlier note in this thread? Some items on that list can be conveniently broken into smaller tasks that take less of a time commitment than others. --Jean On Mon, Nov 18, 2013 at 2:41 AM, Preston Bernstein prestonbernst...@gmail.com wrote: Jean, I would also like to know what needs to be done.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: Version 4.1 Draw Guide, Chapter 9
Hello Jean, Thanks for the information. I'm interested in helping write the Base guide so would appreciate more information on that. In the meantime, I will take a look at chapter 5 (Using Graphics) of the Calc guide. If I have any spare time, I will identify and note any chapters that will need updating upon release of LO 4.2.

Then it will be onto the Calc Guide to bring up to 4.1. The Calc chapters are being upgraded to 4.0 by other volunteers. I shall then upgrade the chapters to 4.1 so that the Calc Guide has the same look and feel throughout the guide. After that I will be moving onto the Impress Guide which is now at 4.0 to upgrade to 4.1 maybe 4.2. Just have to wait and see. I think the best bet is to move onto the other LO modules because I think there is a shortage of volunteers to upgrade the remaining modules. I am sure Jean will advise which is the best to have a go at.

Is the objective to bring all guides up to date (4.1.x branch) or are 4.0.x guides sufficient? Jean here. General comment to Martin: We've been tending to skip a point release for Getting Started and the Writer Guide, because we haven't been able to keep them updated fast enough while at the same time improving the content, not just updating it. Calc Guide is something of an orphan and, as you can see, hasn't been updated since v3.4. The objective at this point is to finish the Calc Guide to 4.1 and start updating GS and WG to v4.2. The first beta of LO 4.2 is due out next week (see Release Plan, https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/4.2 and the Release Notes, https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.2 So, my suggestions to you are: 1) Go through Chapters 5, 6, 12, 13 of Calc Guide (currently listed as LO v4.0) to see if anything needs changing for v4.1 -- or if anything wasn't updated correctly from v3.4 to v 4.0. Also Appendix C hasn't been updated from v3.4; you could do that. Other chapters have already been updated to v4.1, but Peter hasn't been through all of them for look and feel updates. People are working on Ch14 and Appendixes A and B. I'm really hoping to get that book done by the end of November. 2) Start identifying which chapter of Getting Started and/or other books will need updating for v4.2. Add info to this page: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development/UserGuideTasks Also would be useful to go through the existing GS book to see what else needs updating or improvement. PLEASE NOTE: Most chapters in this book cover material also included in other books, though topics and level of detail vary. Therefore, noting necessary updates changes in chapter lists for other books is very helpful. 3) I am still looking for one or more people to help with updating the Base Handbook, which was translated from German to English. In this case, the work involves translating new material that was added to the German handbook for v4.1. If you are interested in helping with this work, I can provide more info point you to the relevant files. 4) Work on Base Guide (different book, written from scratch in English). If you're interested in that, I'll provide more info. I'm in the middle of rationalizing chapters of that book following recent work by Dan Lewis (and earlier work that I've neglected to follow up on). --Jean -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: documentation+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/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
