Been real sick since late last week,
Hoping you have continued to feel better..

Still a little fuzzy half the time, but I am starting to recover. Have a triple nerve block scheduled on Wed. of next week to help with the pain from the "scar tissue" growing next to my spine. The Docs are no longer allowed to remove it, according to the insurance companies. Bummed out about that, since 5 years ago they did just that. That pain/nerve/scar issues has prevented me from visiting my wife at her nursing 26 miles away, for the past 2 months. To painful to drive that far right now.

Missed a major event where I was to dress up in an[my] old-time railroad engineer's outfit and take tickets for a mini train ride at an event that supports people with disabilities. Sat. is Strong-Kids/Safe-Kids, and I was scheduled to work that as well, in a game booth that is run by adults with disabilities. Wheelchair and the County Fair Ground will interesting this year, if I am fit enough to attend/work.


but now going through the 100's of
LO emails.
A double edged sword - there is still plenty of activity on the mailing
lists, and it predominantly reflects real work that is happening, it's
impressive.


Drew - the Math Guide is a 0700 now, not 0800 as shown on the CMS
documentation page.  The writers decided to make that change.  The only
break in the numbering is the 0600 Migration Guide, and that has not
been updated for OOo since version 2.x.
Actually, I would like to drop the numbering on the actual web page.

Do you think that would look better?

I think it would look nice to have it more along the look of what is now on the
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation
page except maybe the dates, if the documents are automatically updated to the assets folder, otherwise we add the date the update was made. That will take a big rebuild of the page, but it may be worth it.

Until my head clears completely, I really do not want to deal with that CMS system. If you want, I could do a work-up on the offline version, and you could cut/paste the body of the text that needs changing. Keeping the "header info" above the body tag and the footer info, but changing most of the body by cut/paste should work. The links for the files will point to the proper folder paths. With a little tweaking, it should be quicker that way.

In the meantime have started a page on the wiki to gather final issues
for this set of pages at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Americas_LibreOffice_DVD/PunchCard
and just added this to the Math page.

Just sent emails to the marketing (us) list with the link and asked
others to help review the pages - likely edit between now and then but
will plan on publishing pages again on Sunday for sure.

As for OOo "branding",
there are a lot of documents that currently not remade to be Specific LO
that are very useful.
Andrew Pitonyak's Macro Explained documents are not written for LO
[yet?].  Also, there is a really limited Base documentation out there,
and none are written "for" LO.
Yeah..I know. I would still prefer not too to be honest, but perhaps
that is precisely one side of my predisposition that needs tempering...

Well he did say we could use it on our DVD. Hopefully he will make the LO version in the next few months.
If we get permission to list these documents, would we do a disservice
to LO by listing those documents when there are none yet written
specifically for LO?
Contacting the authors of what we publish would be nice, can't argue
there.
A disclaimer that the original documents were mostly written when LO was
not available and there are a dedicated group of writers that are
writing those specific LO documentation, would be nice or maybe needed
before these non-specific LO documents are posted/linked.

I would think this is not really necessary at all and maybe a bit
condescending, so I would not be in favor of such wording.

Well we could, with permission, add links to the web sites for the Writers Group and the major authors that write documents for LO or that would work with LO. Have a statement that about our thanks that they are writing/updating the LO documents and other "useful" documents for LO users. Giving thanks to those who are working on LO documentation always is nice.
