I submitted changes directly to Roman Joost. Roman indicated that he would integrate my changes but that he was busy so that it would likely take weeks. I told him that I would attempt to integrate the changes myself. I also indicated that unless someone was familiar with my work that I expected that my proposed changes would be vetted. With the process in place here, it is not clear to me how that is done, but with GIT I believe that it is possible (and that it would be very difficult with SVN). Note that apart from my initial exchange with Roman, I have not had further communications, so I am NOT saying that Roman indicated that this would be possible. I was merely attempting to take the work off of him to integrate the changes that I had submitted. All of my past experience has either been directly with publishers and editors (for published materials) and with the OpenOffice.org project, which uses an entirely different process. >> Must I do something specific so that my newly created username >> AndrewPitonyak (user name for live.gnome.org) will work with my newly >> created id_dsa or id_rsa.

OK, I think that I understand that what I was attempting to do is not possible. I will send a message to Roman and mention that he should take care of integrating the changes that I submitted. My initial submission was as follows: (1) A PDF document illustrating the initial documentation (complete with links to the original) (2) A description of why I disliked the original (3) What I thought that it should say. (4) Comments on why I prefer the new text (including links into the documentation if I am commenting on consistency with other sections of the documentation. Needless to say, this form of submission is very time consuming to produce and time consuming to integrate. In the time that I created this document for a few pages, I could have done many more. Unfortunately, the current documentation does not appear to lend itself to a "lets track changes and insert comments" mode of collaborative editing that I have used on the other projects in which I have participated. In this mode, the document "approver" is able to very quickly what changes have been made along with comments. It is then easy to accept and/or reject very low level changes in the documentation. On the other hand, I am also well aware of the inherent difficulties with the product to then generate multiple output types as is easily done with the form used by GIMP. I assume, then, that I have no need for access if this is the expected form of submission from me for now. -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt My Book: http://www.hentzenwerke.com/catalog/oome.htm Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php See Also: http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/index.html _______________________________________________ Gimp-docs mailing list Gimp-docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-docs
