Base Chapter 1: Introducing Base

OK. Now I'm confused. The document development page says that after
I have written the document I should place it in the Draft folder. Then
it says I should submit it for review. Is this done by clicking More and
then clicking Submit for review in the dropdown list? This seems to move
it to the Proof folder. The wording says someone will check out the
draft copy, make changes with tracking on, and then place it in the
Review folder.
     Anyway, BG3401-IntroducingBase.odt is now located in the Proof
folder because I clicked "Submit for review". I managed to copy it back
to the Drafts folder. (I apparently do not have the right permission to
move anything out of the Proof folder.)
    What I have done to create this document: I opened a new document
using LO_3_4_chapter_template.ott as the template, erased everything
from Introduction to the the end, copied everything from Introduction to
the end of the OOo version of Chapter 1 into the new document. So far,
so good. Then I changed all of the links that needed to be changed. I
searched for OpenOffice.org and OOo in the document replacing most of
them with LibreOffice. There were two places where I had to modify the
text.
    So, it would be nice if someone would have the time to study this
chapter to see if any changes need to be made.

Hi Dan,

OK. Now I'm confused. The document development page says that after
I have written the document I should place it in the Draft folder. Then
it says I should submit it for review. Is this done by clicking More and
then clicking Submit for review in the dropdown list? This seems to move
it to the Proof folder.

That is correct, you click More and choose Submit for review. The doc
then gets moved to the Proof folder.

The wording says someone will check out the

draft copy, make changes with tracking on, and then place it in the
Review folder.

The documentation needs some updating. Some work has been done on
Alfresco since then, and some more work is still in progress.

So, it would be nice if someone would have the time to study this
chapter to see if any changes need to be made.

OK, thanks Dan. Let's see if someone comes forward before me.
Otherwise I will check your work as soon as I have time this week.

Thanks for having done it. :slight_smile:

Hi :slight_smile:
Fantastic to see work on Base being done.  I have heard it's a bit of a nightmare and so we haven't had a first release out yet.  Whichever branch (3.3.x or 3.4.x) you are doing it's great to hear about it :slight_smile:
Thanks Dan!! :slight_smile:
