Hello Everyone
I would like to propose a filename change that would better fit the proposed change in folder structure by DaveB, that is Work in Progress, Archive and Published. This change I do agree with as the present folders in NextCloud are not that clear as to what purpose they serve.
First draft of chapter.
So that a history of development is created, I think that the filename should include a version number with the initials of the creator. For example IG7006-FormattingGraphicObjects-01-PS.odt. This file would be placed in the Work in Progress folder.
After first review the filename changes to include the reviewer’s initials, for example IG7006-FormattingGraphicObjects-01-PS-DB.odt. This file would be placed in the Work in Progress folder.
Second draft of chapter
Any changes from the reviewer are carried out normally by the creator and the filename is changed to IG7006-FormattingGraphicObjects-02-PS.odt. This file would be placed in the Work in Progress folder.
After second review the filename changes to include the reviewer’s initials, for example IG7006-FormattingGraphicObjects-02-PS-DB.odt. This file would be placed in the Work in Progress folder.
Files from the first draft of the chapter, that is 01, are place in the Archive folder.
Published chapter
The filename is changed to IG7006-FormattingGraphicObjects.odt and is place in the Published folder.
Files from the second draft of the chapter, that is 01, are place in the Archive folder.
The Archive folder would then contain a history of the development of a chapter and referred to enough necessary.
I realise that this would mean a change to the Contributors' Guide, Also, contributors must strictly follow the regime of file naming.
