about alfresco platform

At this time I don't think people can register themselves, but perhaps David
Nelson can change that. I don't know very much about making Alfresco work.
Best way may be for someone in the Spanish team to have admin rights so he
can register other users.

I have created accounts for you and the two Daniels. I think I now have to
send each of you a private message with your automatically generated
password, which you can change. I will do that now.

I hope this works! I've never done it before. :slight_smile:

I set up a Spanish "space" in Alfresco. I have not given anyone special
permissions because I don't know how, so I hope that you can set up any of
the subspaces that you need for the group. If not, let us know.

thank you Hal

could you give a brief description of the intended use of the
platform, so we could investigate

David Nelson can probably tell you better than I can, but this is what I
understand. The Alfresco site is intended to be a place for people to work
on documentation for LibreOffice (ODFAuthors is another place). When
documents are published, they are made available to users through other
websites, such as the wiki or the LibreOffice.org website or a separate
Alfresco site that people do not need to log in to. Different language
groups can set up their part of the Alfresco site in any way suits their
preferred workflow.

I was exploring the alfresco repository and I found that I can open the
Spanish directory (but I can open the other directories).

My name is Juan C. Sanz

Alfresco could be used as a document and content storage repository by
just about any team. At the moment, it's being used regularly by the
English docs team.

You have two URLs for Alfresco: http://alfresco.libreoffice.org and
http://documentation.libreoffice.org.

Documentation could be worked on and then theoretically be published
to the world directly from http://documentation.libreoffice.org. But
the TDF wiki is currently the final point of publication for files,
with links to those files also being posted on the libreoffice.org
site (http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/)

During the recent reinstallation, I set things up so that a space
named after each language code constitutes the main point of entry to
content in that language. The way a language team wants to set things
up within that space is entirely up to them.

If a team wants, we can simply replicate the English space, so that
they can start with the same content and structure as the English docs
team, and then work with that as it is or else adapt it to wishes.

If a language team wants help setting up a space and structure, I'll
be happy to help out in any way needed or do the job for you.

Yes, all content is world-browseable (documentation.libreoffice.org).

I think that would be nice for the spanish team

Hi, :slight_smile:

do you know which will be the mechanism when new volunteers want to
join the effort? everyone should ask for permissions every time? or
could register an begin to work inmediately?

At this time I don't think people can register themselves, but perhaps David
Nelson can change that. I don't know very much about making Alfresco work.
Best way may be for someone in the Spanish team to have admin rights so he
can register other users.

At the moment, there is no self-registration. Accounts need to be
created by an admin.

I guess that, ideally, at least one person from each language team
should be made admin.

Daniel (Rodriguez), I've given you admin rights. If other members of
the Spanish team need admin rights, please do feel free to add them,
or else give me a heads up and I'll do it for you...

thanks in advance

Hi Daniel, :slight_smile:

Done.

Thank you David

Hi :slight_smile:
Please could i have a user name on Alfresco too?

If i get a chance to contribute then i would like to just look-up and discover
current work-flow, and perhaps update documentation about that if there have
been changes. I think that would be the fastest way for me to contribute if i
am able to at some point.

Many thanks and regards from
Tom :slight_smile:

Hi Tom, :slight_smile:

Added a user account for you and mailed you the details.

David Nelson

Hi :slight_smile:
Thanks, got it :slight_smile: Finding the documents seems very intuitive and easy. I can
see why Alfresco was chosen. I haven't tried the older system but Alfresco
looks clear, tidy and very modern :slight_smile:
Thanks and regards from
Tom :slight_smile:

How does this work? The documentation.libreoffice.org site wanted a
login, so I used my normal alfresco.libreoffice.org login. That worked,
but then I couldn't figure out how to find the libreoffice docs. You've
probably explained this before and I've totally forgotten.
