Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: [libreoffice-documentation] I joined recently. How can I help?

Hi :)
Wow!!  Thanks :)  Generally you can just write comments to whichever list as and when you feel like 
it.  Storing closely related comments and sending the whole lot in one go is probably better but is 
not easy!  


However, given the amount of work you have done it would be ideal if you could join the Docs Team's 
mailing-list.  It's MUCH lower traffic than the Users List!  To sign up for the Docs Team's mailing 
list, please send a blank e-mail message to documentation+subscribe@global.libreoffice.org and 
follow the instructions that will be mailed back to you.  


To join their team properly rather than just being on their list
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development


As a member of the Docs Team you can get a login for the ODFauthors site to upload your edited 
document to there.  But since you have already done the work you could send it as an attachment to 
me, Dan "theelder" or Jean but that would have to be off-list.  I would then forwards it to Dan.  
None of the lists accept attachments.  Dan should be able to use the "Compare documents" feature 
but normally the team uses "track changes" because it's easier.  

Many thanks for looking through this for us!
Regards from
Tom :)
