Documentation/Development/User Guides

    From The Document Foundation Wiki

    We use NextCloud as a production site, with published documentation placed on this wiki Publications page and on the LibreOffice website.

    Workflow

    Details of our workflow have changed, as our working files are now located on NextCloud, not ODFAuthors.

    At each stage, fill in the appropriate task spreadsheet on NextCloud and report what you have done to the documentation team forum.

    Task status

    Tasks are tracked using a spreadsheet in the NextCloud folder for each user guide.

    Using OmegaT for translation

    OmegaT is a Computer Aided Translation tool that can be used to handle the translation of the guides produced by the Documentation team. Miloš Šrámek has made a presentation about his workflow. The wiki page UsingOmegaT describes the process based on the development he shared.
