Re: [ubuntu-marketing] follow up regarding help with the magazine

[Ronnie Tucker]

If bashing some brains together could automate things it'd be awesome, but it would have to be something quick and easy as I'm now used to copying and pasting articles on to the wiki, getting several pages linked to one 'contents' page (for an issue) then emailing the proof-readers a link to the contents page. I've had another look at Google Docs and while it looks to be great, in my opinion it's pretty hopeless (I can just hear all the Google Doc fans clicking reply to give me grief for saying that.) I tried giving it various web pages (for articles that we've been given permission to use) and it couldn't import them and I also tried giving it several OpenOffice files (from people who've submitted articles) and it rejected them. It does indeed, now, give a link which you can give to anyone for editing, but it'd be nice to have one link which would let people edit all the articles in a particular folder... Anyway... like I say, I'm open to ideas, the less copy/paste I need to do the better!  :D Jason wrote: Hmm I am not sure what happened to my previous post regarding my offer to help with the magazine. No one said anything. It is still available. A simple yes or no will be great. Thanks a million. Regards, Jason I've read the above thread and lots of people have a lot of input... Which is great... I could help with some parts of the project. Specially doing simple tasks such as copy pasting from Scribus to HTML editor and making sure that everything is able to navigate back and forth...I have minimal HTML skills but these days the HTML editors are great... I'm a marketing grad so I pretty much know nothing about coding... But I would like to learn and be involved... I was involved in a project within the last six months which is now AIESEC Monash <http://www.aiesecmonash.org/> Not sure how much time I can commit as I'm in the midst of job hunting... But I am happy to help. If I am about to leave the project I will definitely train someone while transitioning...Let me know what you'll think. Perhaps Greg and Martin can show us what they are talking about as an example somewhere. That way there is a team of editors and there is another team that provides ideas on innovative ways to speed processes by using technology. As for the Google Docs issue.. I actually use Google Docs quite a lot to collaborate with members from AIESEC Monash... You can invite people to make changes to the document as collaborators, viewers and practically anyone if they have access to a special link that the document generates via the share button, click on "Get the link to share".
