That did the trick. Thank you.

Pretty high-level security for this project!

As you found, there is no way to drag or paste files into the website.

Hi Jean,

Thank you. That worked and I can log in.

However, I can't see how to upload the draft file in "Contents" in the
Feedback  folder. It says that there is an "add" button but I don't see it.
When I right click, there is no "paste" option. When I drag and drop the
file, it just keeps adding it to my Downloads folder.

I have to believe that there is an easy way to upload a file but it is
certainly not clear. I hope that someone can help.

Cathy,

I've done a password reset for you, which should send you a new link. If it
still doesn't work, sounds like the website may be having a hiccup again.

Olivier, if needed, can you help? I've not been very involved for some
time, so I may not know what to do about this problem.

There are a few questions that I hope you can help with:

- I am getting ready to upload a file to the ODFAuthors site. Could
you please give me login information?



I'll set this up for you. You will receive an email with details.



- I made many changes and suggestions. After you or someone works with
it, is the normal procedure that I would look at again?



The usual procedure is that the writer (in this case, probably me) revises
the file and makes it available for further review. You're welcome to look
at it again or not, as you prefer. As a new member of the team, it's
probably useful for you to look at it again to see the writer's responses.



- Some styles are not being used as directed in the Style Guide.
Examples are special styles for first, middle, and last lines in a list. To
what extent should the Style Guide be adhered to? Also, who should I ask
about issues that it does not cover or that I am unclear about?



The Style Guide is out of date regarding style usage and probably other
topics. Questions should be addressed to the list. In many cases there are
no answers, only opinions.



- Who are my colleagues in this effort? How big is the documentation
team? Tens? Hundreds? Thousands? (ha ha) Are they mostly in Europe and
North America? Everyone is a volunteer, correct?



Many people are on the mailing list, but AFAICT only 2 or 3 are actively
working on user guides. Others are more involved with the online help, and
there are lots of translators who are not native speakers of English.
Olivier is paid; everyone else AFAIK is an unpaid volunteer. I am in
Australia. Hazel is in the UK (I think). Olivier is in Brasil.



- How many people are subscribed to the mailing list? Are there
guidelines for using it? That is, should I write message like this to the
list or directly to you?



Please write to the list instead of to me or others personally. That way
others can answer questions if we're not around. I have no idea how many
people are subscribed.

Thank you for whatever information you can provide.
As background, I'm a retired technical writer and editor. I was team leader
and very involved for many years but have cut back on my participation
(hence the out of date style guide and other materials). AFAIK most other
team members come from a variety of other backgrounds.

They need to be thoroughly reviewed. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

If you don't have a login for the ODFAuthors website, Olivier or I or
others can create one for you. The files are public, so you can
download them without a login; however, you'll need a login to upload
reviewed files to the Feedback folder.

If you do that, let me know when you've done them and I'll proof-read them.
