Alfresco - another contender for documentation/i18n work management

Oh! Wow! So sorry about that! I did not realize. :wink:

I'm sure I should not derive such delight from watching people make wrong
assumptions. :smiley:

OK. If you feel like working on docs, you might *consider* doing it on
the Alfresco site?
But, obviously, that's entirely your decision. :wink:

To me, the Alfresco site (or any other) is where the docs are stored,
checked out and in, tracked for who's working on them, etc. (The work is
done offline in LibreOffice.) So yes, I'll certainly use the Alfresco site,
once I figure out how to organise the work there. I am composing a separate
note for a new thread on this topic.

Jean has said she is taken up with administering her Plone-based web.

What takes up most of my available time is updating OOo documentation...
to the point where I don't have time to write more to fill in gaps and
expand the range of user docs available. And certainly no time to learn
about new systems like Alfresco, much as I have an interest in doing so.

But I think it would be interesting for her to be able to get a look
behind the scenes at Alfresco, for the development of her own project,
and maybe to feed back about differences of approach. I see her access
as purely "passive". The ability to look around, but without actually
"touching" anything.

I wish you'd get off this thing about OOo/ODFAuthors being "my" project
or "my" website. It happens to be where I spend a lot of time and
energy, but it's a community of people just as the LibO Docs group is a
community of people. I just herd the cats.

That said, yes I also think it will be interesting for me to get a look
behind the scenes at Alfresco. I don't mind having admin access as long
as you don't expect me to actually DO anything. :wink:
