Hi, :slight_smile:

Just to let you know we are definitely not tied to one product, in fact one
of the reasons that the steering committee decided to go with Drupal was
it's ability to leverage these tools and integrate it with workflows and
publishing systems within the Drupal framework.

Just for the sake of clarity and accuracy about this, there has been
no *official decision* as yet to definitely go with a Drupal site.
It's still under evaluation as such (this is what the steering
committee meeting minutes confirm) [1].

What has actually been said up to present is this:

"vote if to start with Silverstripe or Drupal
result: 6 for Silverstripe vs. 2 for Drupal -> 2/3rd majority for Silverstripe
reason to vote for Silverstripe was in most cases that a fast go-live
is expected and that there are people to do administration and take
care about content
reason to vote for Drupal was the higher flexibility (and therefore
better long-term solution) as well as having several people with good
knowledge about drupal
suggestion is that the website team should do some more planning, what
we need regarding website, additional services, and see how this can
be achieved with drupal. We see the need of a more sophisticated CMS
in the future."

The SC has not taken any other official decisions on the subject since
that time...

Hi Leo, Sigrid, *,

because I has not enough time to read all the emails on the list, I has not
enregistered this thread.

No problem

The issue is here a misconfiguration of the language setting for the whole folder.
The default language inside the Plone CMS of OOoAuthors.org is language neutral. This
is the only setting, which guarantees, that all members can see the directory and
it's content. You can translate the folder with LinguaPlone to another language. This
means that every user with the language setting according to the translation will see
the translated version in that language. The other members (with no available
translation) will see the default folder (with language neutral setting).
You can realise the misconfiguration, if you change your language setting by clicking
on the English flag.

Regards,
Andreas

Thanks a lot Andreas, problem solved.

Best regards

Hi Jean,

The latest version of the draft LibO Getting Started guide chapters are
here: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation

Ron Failes took all the published chapters and applied the new LibO
template to them. However, as far as I can tell, no other changes have
yet been made, for example changing OpenOffice.org to LibreOffice
(except on the title pages), and the list of contributors to the OOo
chapters does not appear in the LibO files that I checked. Other changes
that were made to the draft chapters have not been made to the latest
ones, either, so whoever works on these will need to do all of that
again. Comparing them with the draft chapters would help with those
updates, but not if you cannot get to the drafts.

The files are very much NOT ready for translation. In fact, IMO they are
not ready to be put on the LibO site, where other people can find and
copy them.

That is what I realised as well, but I was eager to find out what you were all talking about and which progress was made and see if there is any way I could help.

But as you will have understood from Andreas, the problem is solved. :smiley:

Thanks for trying to help.
