Bug 39998 - EXTENSIONSWEBSITE Help required "How to Upload"

Hi Gustavo, all,

sorry for crossposting.

First a big thanks to Gustavo all the other contributors for their work on the
documentation.

(...)

  The document is here:
   http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Installing_extensions.odt (I
removed the date on the name).

Can someone put the document on the libreoffice-website into the documentation
section? I have not the necessary rights to do so.

(...)

  After review, Andreas can put a link to a PDF version of this document
from the every extension page on the site.

I can link to the document very easy, if it is located on our website. I hope someone
with the necessary rights will jump in and place the document on our website :wink:

Regards,
Andreas

Other documentation (such as the user guides) is stored on the wiki and
links to the wiki are put on the website. Why not do that with this
document?

Isn't this a user guide? It's about installing an extension.

Yes, so why not treat it the same as the other user guides? That was my
point.

uups, now I catched your point. I thought that all the user guides were stored on the
website.

My inclination would be to wait until the extensions repo reaches a
more-finished state, as regards presentation and functionality, so as
to reduce the necessary updating work.

the site will serve as extension-repo for LibreOffice in the next days. Thus I think
you can proofread and edit the text. If you want an account, please give me a ping.
Otherwise you can sent me your changes (plain text, odt ...) and I publish it.

Regards,
Andreas

Hi Andreas!

  You're welcome. I'm glad to help the project!

About Publishing_extensions.odt, at the moment I'm working in some Jean's
suggestions (please, see
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Talk:Extensions_Repository#Suggestions_for_additions_.2F_improvements_2,
topics 3 and 4).

If you have some note about this content, please, send us.

I want to finish topics 3 and 4 next week. I will notice here about it.
After, someone can do the topic 5.

Best regards,
Gustavo Pacheco

OK, this is on my to-do list for attention just as soon as I can give
it time. Once the actual user interface of the extensions site is up
to scratch from the language quality viewpoint, we can update the
documentation.

So I'll get back to you about this subject as soon as I'm able to.

The extensions site can certainly be documented in its own little
guide, but will also be covered in the Getting Started guide.

As Jean explained, at present, our current convention is to post
download-ready documents on the wiki, and to link to the wiki-based
copies on the libreoffice.org website. And we keep a working copy of
the document on Alfresco for updating and maintenance.
