Open Source Project

Hi

I am a student and I am studying a subject about Open Source. For my subject, I have been asked to take part in an open source project. Is there a documentation project I could complete for LibreOffice?

Regards

Hello Catherine

Welcome to the LibreOffice community. Here is a page with the options we
have to enhance our documentation projects

http://documentation.libreoffice.org/en/join-community/

Let us know where do you think you fit the best.

Kind regards

Hi Olivier

I was looking at issue 95501 - Standardizing the format for howtoget section. Is it ok to take this issue, I did click to take this issue yesterday but it is now showing unassigned. Are there any other issues you would suggest for a beginner?

Hello Catherine

This issue is easy to fix but you will have to touch hundreds of XML
files that have the "How to get" section.

Also, the website help.libreoffice.org is regenerated on each release
from our local help system. We do not edit the wiki of this website. You
will have to learn a bit on our XML files to proceed. Let me know if
you want to go ahead.

Otherwise, my suggestion for a beginner is:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94454

"No Help for Template Manager Available".

and to make your life easier, please follow the instructions in

http://documentation.libreoffice.org/en/join-community/update-help-contents/

in "very easy way" section.

I have already written some info in our Getting Started book, you may
use it for the help system:

http://documentation.libreoffice.org/assets/Uploads/Documentation/en/GS5.2/HTML/GS5203-StylesAndTemplates.html#__RefHeading__165545_780470623

Ask here for help you in any issue.

Hi Olivier

I will look at fixing bug 64454 - No Help for Template Manager Available if that is ok. I will have time to do this over the weekend.

Hi Olivier

I have made a draft version of documentation for No Help for Template Manager Available (94454)

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94454

I uploaded my draft to bugzilla.

Please let me know which changes need to be made. I am not sure how icons are placed in help files and where the images are sourced from, or if you would like me to change the way I wrote the document.

Hello Cat

I'll take your document of comment#8 and use it to input a help page of

More new to come.

Hi Olivier

Great, thanks, I enjoyed making a contribution. If there is nothing else I need to change on that document, I will take a look and see what other bugs I might be able to address.
