Hi
At a guess i'd say that the Getting Started Guide far outstrips the rest.
It's probably the only one that really kinda needs to be done for every
branch. So maybe needs 1 every 6 months?
2nd place is probably Writer. A little way behind that is probably Calc in
3rd place. It'd be really neat to do one for one branch and the other for
the next. That way each time a new branch appears you only have to work on
1 of those guides instead of having to work on both of them. So each could
be done just 1/year?
The remainder of the guides&handbook are probably sold a lot less
frequently. Doing them in rotation also makes sense. So maybe 1 /
6months?
It would mean that each guide skips 3 branches so there would be a lot of
catch-up each time. So it might be better to do 2/ 6months?
This would mean that each branch would need either 3 or 4 of the 8 guides.
I think i'd suggest 3.
Another approach might be to get all the 1st stage done for as many as
possible for each branch but then skip all the translation-checking,
reviewing, screen-shots, proof-reading etc for all the guides except the
ones scheduled for full publication? It's still a lot of work this way but
might mean less work when it comes around to doing a full publication of a
guide or handbook.
Hopefully someone can give you reasonably good figures later. It'd be
interesting to see if my assumptions are correct at all or just plain
wrong.
Good luck and regards from
Tom
