[STARTING]

Hi guys!

   I got my acc, from David. Pls give me job :slight_smile: . OK what shell I do?
Translate the documentation to Hungarian (would love it, because I wanna
take an English exam) or screenshotting for a chapter? Or both but first
screenshotting? :smiley:

Hi :slight_smile:
Translating would be fantastic. The Writer and Calc guides are completed in
English so either of those might be good to start with.

There is a Hungarian Team and even a website
http://hu.libreoffice.org/home/
It would be great to co-ordinate with them. From their website how far do they
seem to have got with documentation so far?

:smiley: LOL :smiley:

I see on the homepage, that we don't have any documentation, just books to
buy and download: http://libreoffice.hu/konyvek/ The books are just guides,
and how-tos. Do we have any on the mailing list form Hungary?

Hi Gergely,

So this list you're writing to now is the English documentation team's
mailing list. Here, you're help with screenshots would be greatly
appreciated, for instance. I'm sure Tom will be happy to give you
pointers about that.

But if you're interested in getting involved in translating
documentation, etc., into Hungarian, the best thing would be to sign
up for the localization mailing list (l10n - see [1] for the sign-up
address) and introduce yourself there. You'll be answered by Hungarian
contributors as well as contributors to other NL (Native Language)
projects. General information about LibreOffice mailing lists is
available at [2]. For details about contacting Hungarian speakers in
Hungarian, check the local mailing lists page at [3].

Again, a big thanks for joining us, and welcome to the LibreOffice
community. :wink:

Hi :slight_smile:
Ahah, so they don't have a page like this one?
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/

If you would like to translate then perhaps try to find one on that page that is
not on the sales site
http://libreoffice.hu/konyvek/

I think the Hungarian Translators have a separate mailing list. You are the
first person here to mention Hungarian but it would be great if there was
someone on both lists to help co-ordinate between the 2 lists.

If you want to work on English (US) documentation then you might want to start
with Impress or Draw. Find something that has not been "checked-out" by someone
else. Perhaps something in proof-reading or somewhere?

Impress and Draw are both closest to being finished & it would be great to
finish them. Maths needs a lot more work. Base is a major challenge. Pick a
target that you like. Check it out. Do what you can. Whether or not you
achieve your target check it back in after a few days and pick a new target,
perhaps the same one. If you manage to advance a document to the next level
within Alfresco that's great but don't worry if you don't get all that far.

Tom :slight_smile:

Can't find any subscription to the local mailing list, but I don't just want
to translate, I would loved to get involed in the English part of the
documentation too. So could you send any chapter to work on?
Second question: on the alfresco I didn't see the Hungarian part? I'm afraid
that Hungarian documentation doesn't even exist, just some private how-tos
in book formats and some more private actions.

Hi :slight_smile:
Ok, i was wondering about all that.

Really it is up to you to decide what you want to work on. I would vote on you
working with Impress or Draw just to get them completed and out of the way but
the choice is yours.

The trick is to find something that hasn't been checked out by someone else. If
someone has got something checked out and you really want to work on it then
it's worth sending them an email to give them a nudge. They might have got
carried away elsewhere and just forgotten to re-upload it and sign it in.

Alfresco helps us avoid needing to have a leader that controls who does what.
Jaimon fell into doing screen-shots by asking a lot of questions about how to
set-up his system to do them and asked questions none of us had thought about
before. I think he hadn't even used Ubuntu before but managed to get all the
themes sorted out and get good results! Just a few weeks on and he is the
expert at doing screen-shots.

So, pick an area you like and see where it takes you or keep moving to different
areas unitl you find soemthing to settle down with for a while.

Welcome in :slight_smile:

Hi Gergely,

Can't find any subscription to the local mailing list, but I don't just want
to translate, I would loved to get involed in the English part of the
documentation too. So could you send any chapter to work on?
Second question: on the alfresco I didn't see the Hungarian part? I'm afraid

I had a quick look at the local/regional Hungarian resources, and they
don't look particularly active. However, the fact that we have a
Hungarian site at http://hu.libreoffice.org/ means that the
LibreOffice project does already have a Hungarian team (of 1 or more
people). Therefore, I would definitely recommend making contact with
those guys via the l10n list (see the link I posted previously) before
starting any work on Hungarian documentation.

As regards Alfresco, I have therefore created a Hungarian space (see
[1]), which you are welcome to develop as you like - although, again,
I'd recommend touching base with the other Hungarian contributor(s)
first, to avoid duplication of work/effort. If there's no special work
currently going on for Hungarian language, then you'd be most welcome
to start things rolling.

In any case, feel free to make any requests and ask any questions here.
