I have been known to be verbose at times, but here are my thought
about Step 1 of the Workflow list:
1.) The workflow begins with creating a new document or revising and
existing document.
a.) Create a new document using the latest chapter template
(currently LO_3_4_chapter_template.ott). Also study and apply
the principles of Producing-LO-userguides.odt. Both of these
documents will guide you as you write your new document.
i.) Naming convention for new documents: CCDDDBB-Name where CC
is the book initials, DD is the LibreOffice version (33 is
version 3.3 and 34 is version 3.4), and BB is the chapter
number (two digits). For directions on formating the name
of the document, see page 20 of Producing-LO-
userguides.odt. For example, WG33-WorkingWithText.odt is
chapter 3 of the Writer Guide for LibreOffice version 3.3.x.
Book initials (CC):
GS = Getting Started
WG = Writer Guide
CG = Calc Guide
DG = Draw Guide
IG = Impress Guide
BG = Base Guide
MG = Math Guide
b.) Existing documents already have a template. When editing one,
you might need to update the template (first thing to check).
Then make sure you have "change tracking" on (Edit > Changes >
Record). Then review the document making changes as you go.
c.) Uploading drafts to the appropriate draft folder:
i.) If you have not already done so, request your user name
and password for the Alfresco web site from the document
team mailing list. (documentation@global.libreoffice.org)
ii.) Then sign into the Alfresco web site. The path to the
draft folder to which you should upload your draft:
Repository (at the top) > English (left side) >
Documentation > (appropriate folder for your document) >
Drafts.
iii.) Click the Upload button (at the top) and a pop-up window
appears. Click the icon containing a sheet of paper and a
magnifying glass to browse to your draft file on you
computer. Click the “Upload file(s)” button to begin the
uploading. (uploading process is shown over the name of
your file.) When the uploading is completed, the "Upload
file(s)" button changes to OK. Click it. If the uploading
fails, try again. (Some times it takes two or three tries
to successfully upload a file.) The file now appears in
the draft folder.
iv.) Submitting your document for review: On the right side of
the file look for “+More” Click it to open a drop down
list. Select "Submit for review". (The file is moved to
the Proofing folder.)
v.) Report what you have done to the document team mailing
list. (documentation@global.libreoffice.org)
Perhaps this is too exact, and perhaps someone else can find a way
to say these things if fewer words.
