Calc needs another review

Digro has had changes for Calc waiting review for some time could 
another member of the team start reviewing those so that Guide can start 
Moving along.

I am still trying to catch up with with the Getting Started changes from 
Czeslaw that Francis made and re publishing them, as well as trying to 
work on the Writer Guide.

I have also been spending a lot of time taking my Girlfriend in and out 
of the Veterans Administration Hospital in the Jamaica Plains section of 
Boston for medical issues.

Thank you all in Advance
Keith

Michele;

Thank you for all your good work on your review of the Getting Started Guide

Is this Glossary intended to be included as part of the Back Matter of 
the full book, or as Francis addressed below in his reply as a 
stand-alone document that could be inclusive of the complete set of User 
Guides.

How we proceed in the long run depends on a number of factors. For the 
Glossary it depends on its ultimate use. If it is meant as a stand-alone 
document for one guide or as an integrated part of the book it would be 
handled one way, if as a stand-alone document for the entire set of 
guides it would be another way entirely. I will start  a [Discuss] 
thread so that all the members can give their opinions on the best way 
to do it.

For the consistency of Figure placement I agree with Francis that it 
would be best addressed in the Calc Guide as the placement has to be 
addressed in the chapter documents. The full book is simply the chapter 
docs merged into one doc along with any Front Matter and/or Back Matter 
if it is required.


For the more colloquial wording, that can start to be addressed as I 
work through the Writer Guide, and followed up in the rest of the guides 
as they are started.

If you could write up your suggestions and post them here all of the 
team members can have access to them.

Regards
Keith

Hello Francis, I will comment on your suggestion in-line

Although a stand-alone Glossary would be an excellent addition, remember 
we also publish the individual chapters. It may be helpful to have a 
glossary specific to each chapter. What do you think?

Actually I am not ready to publish it, With all the time spent on 
getting to Getting started book right, as well as things in my personal 
life, I am behind on reviewing the chapters. Chapter one is ready, but 
in Chpater 2 I found a number of corrections that need to be made. I 
will be starting Chapter 3 today and spending most of my time the next 
few weeks reviewing the rest of the chapters.

I wholeheartedly agree with the above. Some of it could also be from 
repeated us of the same phrasing or word. This is more a style issue and 
would need to be addressed on an individual basis. Some of these style 
issues may be a result of my own bias, for which I apologize profusely.

I think this would a good idea as well. It would give Michele an 
opportunity to get familiar with GitHub and be able to more 
interactively rather than having to wait wait until a guide or it's 
chapters are published to he mwiki.

Re: Calc needs another review

Posted by Michele Petrovsky <pe...@gmail.com>.
I'm thinking that, for the time being at least, concentrating on a glossary
would be best.  I have one that I put together (several years ago) for my
students.  It doesn't include all the words and phrases that jumped out
during proofreading, and some of those it does include may be moot or
redundant.  But I think the structure could serve  well.  I tested it
earlier today, and everything works.  The only thing would be, of course,
that the links from glossary page to individual word, would have to be
redone.

Let me know what you think / how you'd like to proceed.

Re: Calc needs another review

Posted by F Campos Costero <fj...@gmail.com>.
Hi Michele,
I think a standalone glossary could be very useful. There is a lot of
jargon and it would not be practical to give an adequate explanation of
terms within the flow of the text.I also suspect that there would be a lot
of overlap in the terms among the various guides, making a standalone
glossary more practical.

You make a good point about the location of figures. I'm inclined to make
those changes in the next guide to get a major revision, which would be the
Calc Guide. I think Keith is about ready to publish the Writer Guide.

You are right about some passages being less friendly than they could be.
All of the guides suffer from uneven tone. There have been many authors and
I think some spoke English as a second language.It's probably not
practical, or even desirable, to completely even out the style, but
introducing a bias towards less formal writing is a good idea.

What would you think of working with me to complete the revision of the
Calc guide? The version in the Git repository has been substantially
revised from the version on the web page but it could use improvements like
the ones you suggest. In relatively little time we could have something to
replace the very old version on the web page. I think  that would bring the
biggest improvement to the published documentation for the least effort on
our part. We could then come back to implement your specific suggestions
for the Getting Started guide having acquired some experience on the Calc
guide.

Thanks for all your effort so far. If you would rather concentrate on the
glossary exclusively or work on any other aspect of the documentation, just
say so!


Regards,
Francis

Re: Calc needs another review

Posted by Michele Petrovsky <pe...@gmail.com>.
Folks, I've finished my proofreading of the Getting Started guide (version
4.1, copyright 2022).

The project is so well done that I have little to suggest in the way of
improving it. But I did find three contexts in which it might be tweaked a
little.

   1.

   A glossary, especially of terms (e.g., from pages 11 and 12, odbc; jdbc,
   GNU, kernel, and glibc; page 114: regular expression; page 158: Bezler
   curves; page 185: database normalization) with which a lot of people might
   be unfamiliar, would make *Getting Started* even more useful.


   1.

   Greater consistency in the presentation of internal links (for instance,
   some Figures being shown in the text *before**,* rather than after, the
   link to them – such as, on page 273, the reference to Figure 244, which
   occurs *after* the Figure itself) would improve workability.


   1.

   Some more “colloquial” wording might also serve to make less skilled
   users more comfortable. For instance, on page 94, what's shown as “provides
   the oportunity” might be better expressed simply as “allows you to”.

I've got lots more individual items, but those are the basic contexts. Tell
me how you'd like to proceed.

And thanks again for the opportunity …

I did not modify the front matter of any of the chapters and that will have
to be updated. I assume Keith has text that can be used for that with
minimal revisions.

On the Calc Guide, I will first accept or reject all of the changes
currently shown and push those versions back to the repository. Judging
from the first chapter, all of my and Dick's changes have not yet been
accepted. I hope I will have time after that to do a full review of each
document. Let me know if that plan isn't good.

Francis

Thanks Francis. I will finish with the Getting started changes from 
Czeslaw morning, and will get back to the Writer Guide this afternoon.
