Comments in documents

As I've worked on chapters, I've used a number of comments. The first is essentially my own checklist of things to do/done, which is also info for the reviewer to see if the right bases have been covered, but there are others relating to the need to replace figures, or questioning the best way to handle something. Would the comments be better handled in an Alfresco "Discussion" associated with the Review copy, rather than in the document?

My view is that if you ALREADY USE the comments in the document leave it
there :slight_smile: if reviewer changes discussion to Alfresco, we deal with it then

Hi, :slight_smile:

My 2 cents would be that comments inside documents are more
immediately accessible to workers, and are more "portable" to wherever
the document goes. But Alfresco's discussion capability is more
appropriate if it's not just a conclusive comment but is likely to
turn into a conversation.

We're going to have to look into the question of setting-up an RSS
feed from Alfresco (and maybe a status page akin to what you have with
Pootle), so that work information is easily accessible outside the
site or without logging in. I'll follow up on that this week.

Thanks, guys! Quite a few of the comments are about screenshots needing replacement (I'm on Win7 with no Linux access); some are about capability/feature problems where I couldn't successfully follow the procedures (I've submitted a couple of bugs, one more coming so far); others are more along the lines of "Is this worth changing?" (screenshots that incidentally use OOo, like the bibliography example that shows an OOo book, etc.).
