Hi Hazel,
Sorry you find Alfresco difficult to navigate, and sorry that the
contributor documentation on the subject is not up to date. I'll be
addressing the problem as soon as possible. Meanwhile, do feel free to
ask any questions here on the list, and I'll respond as quickly and as
thoroughly as possible.
@Jean: I'm busy on a client project for the next 10 days to come, and
I'm also waiting for mail back about the 2 key problems with the Share
interface: inability to use accented characters in folder names, and a
curious problem with uploading .odt files that has emerged recently
(it *would* have to be .odt files rather than any other format...
there's no problem uploading PDFs, and it's only in the English
content space, not any of the other ones). The upgrade did not fix
those problems.
If I don't find rapid solutions to the aforesaid issues, maybe it
would be pragmatic to side-step them and simple work with the Explorer
interface (http://documentation.libreoffice.org), which has no such
problems. That way, I can give a green light to Jeremy to re-implement
the workflow described in his original guide, and we can update the
contributor documentation quickly.
After that, the other problem I'm wrestling with is configuring the
Drupal installation at http://media.libreoffice.org to interact with
Alfresco, so that we get a public no-login showcase for the content on
Alfresco.
As soon as I've dealt with the above, I'll be available to work on
documentation - starting with the Power User Guide to be developed
from the existing technical writer's guide contributed by those
students.
I'll be following up on my last unanswered mail to my mentor this
weekend. I'll mail back to the list with news as soon as possible -
certainly sometime within the next 2 weeks. In any case, I'm not
asleep at the wheel here...
