Published chapters of Getting Started and Writer Guide

Hi Tom
Is this a possible oops moment? A reply put to the wrong post?

Seems like your comment was for Gabriel's post. :slight_smile:

If not, then I have Win XP. The two screenshots were also wrong for the 3.3 release.

Hi Jean
I must admit I'm interested in giving some help to the project but have felt I don't have the necessary skill-sets for it.
I'm retired after a working life repairing and calibrating electronic measuring equipment. Technical manuals have been an integral part of that, and 'though I have no writing skills, I do know what I dislike when I pick a manual up that's not been done too well.
If it's thought I could help on the inside rather than making comments post publication, then perhaps an Alfresco account is the way to go. No problems either way.
Regards
John

Hi :slight_smile:
You make good comments and have an eye for a high level of detail so it would be fantastic if you can expand on what you currently do.  However that might slow you down.  Often it's fairly standard to have 1 person racing through flagging-up the things that need doing and that is something Jean has done a lot of in the past.  Then other people work through those changes without having to worry that they might be missing something because they just work through your list and tick things off as they go.

In effect you are creating the equivalent of the "Easy Hacks" that helps people learn their way into the devs group.

Hi :slight_smile:
Definitely an Opps moment.  Thanks for trying to find a reason for my madness but it was wrong for Gabriel too.
Thanks and regards from

John,
I will set up an Alfresco account for you later today, so you can dive
into finding out of date info/pix and other errors and omissions while
we're revising the docs. As Tom notes, I've done most of the
"flagging" of items, but that's only because other people haven't been
doing (much of) that. And of course I miss a lot, particularly since
for this last round I concentrated on a list of what's new or changed
in the product, not on what the existing chapters contained. The more
people looking at things, the better.

Tom,
I disagree with your statement, "Then other people work through those
changes without having to worry that they might be missing something
because they just work through your list and tick things off as they
go." The people making changes need to do more than follow a list;
they need to pay attention and spot other things that the first person
missed or that don't become apparent until one is researching and
rewriting the material.

John, Your Alfresco account is now set up and details have been
emailed to you privately. --Jean

Hi :slight_smile:
Time i get 'free' is pretty sporadic and unreliable at best.  Wiki-editing seems to be the best area for me because if i have to drop it in a hurry and can't get back to finish off my plans then it usually looks ok and there is always someone able to move things on easily.  I tend to worry if no-one else edits a page after me as there is always more to do.

Tom :slight_smile:

As I said, just kidding, great job .. will try to make the table at the GS
site look as good as you left the other one. Just not that much available
for this right now
