RE: [libreoffice-users] query re. volunteering w/ LO

Anne,

 

Oops, looks like the Wiki maintainers have removed the graphical
CAPTCHA.  The "math problem" performs the same function and allows
screen reader assistive technologies to function (although easier to
circumvent).

 

So, solve the "math problem" and complete the registration (if you've
not already done so). Then navigate to the QA pages and  edit to put
your name in the pool.

 

http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/QA_Team

 

Unfortunately, one more hoop for you to complete will be to ALSO create
an account on the Bugzilla system hosted by Freedesktop.org-I would
strongly recommend you keep these two sets of credentials in sync so you
don't confuse yourself. 

 

Create the account here:

 

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/createaccount.cgi

 

The Document Foundation bugs and requests are all filed under the
LibreOffice Category on the hosted service-but you'll have access to all
product and project Categories of the bug reporting/tracking system so
it will be a little overwhelming.  Just pay attention and be methodical
to make entries in the correct category. You'll get help, but not a lot
of hand holding.

 

And a big thank you for Volunteering.

 

Stuart

Anne,

Correctly completing the CAPTCHA ("Completely Automated Public Turing
test to tell Computers and Humans Apart") is your key to establishing an
account on the Wiki site maintained by the Document Foundation.

We all have to pass that test to establish an account. And then, as we
all do, you must authenticate with your personal account to make edits
or add new content to the Wiki.

Have a read of this Wikipedia site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAPTCHA
and you'll understand what the intent is.

       Thanks for responding;
           I've been attempting to do just that -
              it states I must log-in to the wiki site ... so I attempt
to set-up an account ... each time it states there's some math question
with a blank to fill-in to prove I'm not some robot - but not finding
this, I continue on only to be sent back to the initial log-in page  ???

       HOW does one avoid having to sign-in to this wiki site before
being able to access the LO portion of the site ???

       I've looked all over the page, but cannot locate where this
supposed question/blank is located  ???

       Has no one else been required to log-in to the wiki site first?
...
is this something new they've added? ... is there some help/contact page
to send questions - and where they will respond with an actual answer?
