Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Breaking News!... Help pages can be edited directly in gerrit.

Hello Sophia

Glad you and others liked it.

The Foundation Manifesto includes "to an open and transparent
peer-reviewed software development process where technical excellence is
valued"

TDF will not spare efforts to appreciate all contributions by the
community. Lowering barriers to code contributions is critical to the
Foundation mission.

And thanks for the patches. Much needed. All of them being reviewed and
tested by committers.

Kind regards
Olivier
