Hi,
As mentioned in other threads, I have set-up an Alfresco site at
https://documentation.traduction.biz.
I am proposing this for evaluation by the English documentation team,
and any interested i18n people, as one option among the other
possibilities presently under consideration:
1) using the Plone-based web currently primarily operated by Jean
Weber, with technical support from Andreas Mantke;
2) using the TDF wiki, as is now the case.
I won't have much time for this before January 10, due to other work I'm doing.
My suggestion would be that Jean Weber could be an admin on the
Alfresco site, and that we could try processing 1, 2 or 3 chapters of
the Writer Guide on it, to see what Alfresco's merits and weaknesses
are. (I had hoped Ron Faile would also be another admin, but I think
he's busy on the core work of the docs team - producing
documentation.)
If ever Alfresco was seen as a possible viable tool after initial
evaluation, I would ask Florian and Christian if they could set us up
an Alfresco installation on the TDF server infrastructure, which is
the natural place for a tool used by the LibreOffice English docs
team. Any data already accumulated by that time could be migrated by
Christian with full support from me. So we can start actually doing
useful work on the https://documentation.traduction.biz web any time
from now on, without any wastage of collaborative effort.
I will be doing some work on my Alfresco sandbox myself, but it won't
be much of an evaluation of its collaborative capabilities if no-one
else does some actual documentation work there. So I would encourage
other active docs team members to ask me for an account there and try
it out, even if your predispositions are leaning towards other
options.
And I would then invite you to center your Alfresco-related discussion
mainly on *this* thread, so we can pool our ideas and reactions.
TIA if so.
