[libreoffice-users] Final proof-reading/beta-testing of Getting Started Guide v4.0

Hi :)
The new Getting Started Guide is nearly ready!  You can have a sneak preview at 
http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/getting-started/published-lo-4.0/gs4.0-full-book-pdf/view
Please let us know if anything appears to be wrong.  


The guide will appear on the proper wiki in a couple of days and then in the Lulu bookstore and  
maybe on the official LibreOffice website a few days after that.  Sorry i can't give precise 
release dates.  



Errr, please noticethat i have heavily edited Jean's email to hopefully make more sense to the 
Users List.  The original was written for the Docs Team.  Normally i would dare edit other people's 
post in lists but be aware that it's always possible.  

Regards from
Tom :)

> It is now time for final checking of the book, looking for glaring
> errors, by which I mean things like this:
> * Missing figures (blank spaces where figures should be)
> * Bad page breaks (for example, big gaps at bottom of a page)
>
> Please let the docs list (or this list)  know if you spot anything a bit wrong.
>
> You are also welcome to suggest improvements etc, but they will be put
> on the list for a later edition of the book, not incorporated into this one.
>
> This is a good job for anyone, including total newcomers to the
> project. You don't need to know anything about the program or have
> good English skills; all you need is to be able to pay attention and
> notice things like those listed above.  
>
> If you are skilled enough to know what these following 2 things mean then please join the docs 
> team (if you haven't already), and/or just let us know if there are problems with them
> * Missing x-refs (message similar to "Error: reference not found")
> * Wrong figure x-refs (pointing to the wrong figure) -- the most common problem
>
> More than one person can check the file at the same time. People see
> different things. Or you can start at the last chapter and work
> forward, or in the middle... anything to get all chapters looked at by
> someone in addition to me.
>
> Thanks in advance!
>
> I will also incorporate any corrections to factual errors that anyone
> finds in the chapter files.
