Maybe we can do the call on two steps, calling first on the forums and
users mailing list for people with experience on the program (on the forums
there are many experienced users) and only afterwards make a more general
call: to write a complete user guide good will is not enough.
I'll send a call to the EN forums on a couple of days. The main message
should be:
if you are an experimented user, help us to write
if you are a new user, help us to test what it is written
if you are a non native English speaker, don't worry: we have editors
Tomorrow I'll try to write it down on a nice way.
I did the call on the forums two weeks ago... without success. I think it's
time for a broad call for volunteers: I'm getting quite close to the limits
of what I can write.
Do you have a link to the forum post? I can try turning it into a blog post.
BTW, someone needs to review the last article about Bézier curves on Draw
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide/Draw/Tools/Bezier
I'm quite sure that it displays the worst English of which I'm capable ;)
It is not clear to me what the workflow is with the editing. For example:
1) How do I know what pages need editing? How do I know whether
someone else has already started editing a page?
2) Do pages need technical review (verifying steps, etc.) as well as
editing? If so, in what order?
Maybe this already exists, and it already exists, but it might help to
have a series of page tags for things like:
1) This page is being drafted by XXX and is not ready for review yet
2) This page has been drafted and is ready for editing
3) This page is currently being edited by XXX
4) This page is done editing and is ready for technical review
5) This page is being reviewed by XXX for technical contents
6) This page is ready for final review/approval
7) This page is approved for publication
Or is this overkill? But I think there is the very practical
question: if we have more volunteers how do we coordinate so we're
not duplicating effort?
I do not think it is overkill, and some of the tags already exist as
template files and the rest should not be that difficult to create. By
doing them as template files you can also assign categories that can be
searched to find say documents that need technical content review or
Need Final Review, etc.
A list of the documentation templates that currently exits is in the
Wiki Editing Policy document at:
