[Libreoffice-qa] Uploading Edited Manual

Hi All,
Where do I upload an updated manual. I made an incredibly small change to address a bug report that someone had: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41600

I've done about a paragraph addition just to address the language issue that the user brought up. Can I send this somewhere? Thanks in advance.


Joel

For questions about documentation it is better to write to
documentation-ml ([hidden email]). There you will
get (hopefully) the right answers and help.

Changes in documentation should be first published in ODFAuthors. You
should work on the existing document.

If it is too difficult to do it for you, give a short signal. It should
be easy to integrate your work.

Here some links for more information:

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: Uploading Edited Manual

Hi :)
I think, in this case, that it might be better to just upload straight to the wiki
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications

ODFAuthors is for proof-reading and all the rest of the process.  This case sounds like it is probably ready to go straight to the wiki.  Please let us know which chapter and when you have done it as the change might need to get pulled into the completed full book as well as the chapter you have edited.

Regards from
Tom :)

Hi :)

Sorry.  Now i have thought about it that final sentence of mine flags up a potential minefield.  Klaus-jürgen and Jean's answer is wise.
Apols and regards from
Tom :)

I disagree. The changed document should be checked by someone on the
team (for example, me) before replacing anything on the wiki.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: Uploading Edited Manual

Thanks for the info. I'm slightly confused, am I uploading to wiki or following Jean's advice and letting someone proof it before? It's honestly a really simple addition. It's more to address the user who submitted the request and knock one of the 5,000+ bugs off the list :) I can even post it here:

This is pertaining to bug reported here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41600

The original text is located in:
Install the required dictionaries

It reads:
LibreOffice automatically installs several dictionaries with the program. To add other dictionaries, be sure you are connected to the Internet, and then use Tools > Language > More Dictionaries Online. LibreOffice will open your default web browser to a page containing links to additional dictionaries that you can install. Follow the prompts to select and install the ones you want.


I changed/added to the following:
LibreOffice automatically installs several dictionaries with the program. To add other dictionaries, be sure you are connected to the Internet, and then use Tools > Language > More Dictionaries Online. LibreOffice will open your default web browser to a page containing links to additional dictionaries that you can install.

When you download the dictionary or dictionaries that you want, they will be in the open office extension format (.oxt). In order to install these extensions use Tools > Extension Manager...click on Add...located at the bottom of the extension manager dialog. Navigate to the appropriate folder containing your dictionary in .oxt format, select the oxt dictionary and click Open.


Many thanks, 
Joel
