Re: Revision of Writer Guide Chapter 13

Tom,

We're in the process of updating the Writer Guide to v4.0, so this is in fact an appropriate time to look at concerns like Rafael's. I'll be doing that later today.

Hi Igor!

It's always great to have new people joining the team! Someone should
hopefully make you an ODFAuthors (the website where we do all the user
guides on) account soon, and there is likely some list somewhere just for
Russian translators - is anyone on here able to point Igor towards there?

Hi :)
Are the inconsistencies too serious to ignore or can they be eft until the next release of The Guides?  I am guessing you think they are pretty serious?

Revision of Writer Guide Chapter 13

Rafael Atías — 2013-05-20T02:01:26

Hello guys,

I revised the chapter 13 Working with Masters Documents.

I think there are some inconsistencies with some pictures. Also, I think
it'd be better to include a suggestion I made to insert a Cross-reference
in a master document.

Kind regards

Rafael

Anyone is working with Writer Guide Chapter 15?

Rafael Atías — 2013-05-20T01:54:22

Hello guys

Is someone working with Writer Guide Chapter 15? I will start the revision
if no one is working with it

Best regards

happy to join your community!

Hi all!

I'm a native Russian computer specialist (Linux/Unix server solutions) and
an experienced technical translator.
You can find my CV here
http://www.translatorscafe.com/cafe/profile/default.asp?UN=schloss

I'd be happy to join your community and take part in the translation of
documentation into Russian!

First of all, I would like to take the project on translation of
documentation of Libreoffice Base, and then the remaining projects.

Nice to meet all of you!

Cheers,
Igor Schloss

Please. Who knows? Posting just might produce the reviewers we need.

I have checked the pages in the General section.

Dan, thank you for doing Ch8. Don't worry about Ch9. I'll ask Andrew Pitonyak if he has time to look it over.

Re: Let's finish the Base 3.5 Handbook

Dan Lewis — 2013-05-18T18:27:14

      I just finished chapter 8. I have placed it here:
http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/base-handbook/edited/chapter-8-tasks/view.
      It took me much more time working through the computer code than I 
expected.

      Chapter 9 is the macro chapter. While I have a copy of this 
chapter, I know absolutely nothing about macros. (I do not even know how 
to run any of the macros that come with LibO. I really do not think I 
would be of any help for this chapter.

I can make a folder for them on the ODFAuthors website, if you like. (That's where we work on the user guides, among other things.)

Re: By way of introduction

Bruce Byfield — 2013-05-18T02:10:59


It's long, so I'll send it a chapter or two at a time.

I also intend to post the drafts when I figure out a place to host them.


Yes, but, unsurprisingly, much of the book will focus on Writer. There's just 
so much more that you can do with styles in Writer than any other module.

There will also be lots about typography, so people have a better idea of what 
choices to make.

It's definitely not a death march through the menus, and maybe idiosyncratic 
in places. So far, I'm enjoying the writing immensely.

Writer Guide Chapters 14, 15, 16 & Appendix

Jean Weber — 2013-05-17T09:11:30

Is anyone working on updating any of these to v4? Let's get this book
done this month if possible.

Let's finish the Base 3.5 Handbook

Jean Weber — 2013-05-17T08:34:35

Two chapters (8 & 9) remain to finalize before I publish the Base 3.5
Handbook. They are here:
http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/base-handbook/edited

Dan, I think you were looking at one or both chapters? How's that
going? I'd really like to get this book done so we can move on to v4.
But if getting these two reviewed is a problem, then one possibility
is for me to make some snap decisions and publish them as they are,
then update them later if you or anyone else has corrections.

Whoops. After 3 years, and I still make that mistake when I'm tired.

By way of introduction

Bruce Byfield — 2013-05-17T06:01:07

Hi, Everyone:

As some of you may already know, I've signed with Jean Weber and Friends of 
OpenDocument to do an advanced book on LibreOffice with the tentative title, 
"Styles and Templates in OpenOffice.org." The book will be released under a CC 
Attribution - Sharealike license.

I've been using LibreOffice and OpenOffice.org since the 1.0 release, but I 
may be posting the occasional question to the list. Meanwhile if anyone has 
ideas for content, or any questions they think I should cover, I welcome any 
feedback.

Oh, and for the record: I'm on chapter 3, and wallowing in paragraph styles.

I have edited the first group of articles, about Writer. Perhaps you
