Blog Draft: OpenOffice.org Migration -- The Community Forums
A new Blog post, "OpenOffice.org Migration -- The Community Forums", has been
published, post-dated to 2011-11-18T01:05Z.
This post should be wherever staging is available for review by editors and
committers.
(I post via Windows LiveWriter and I have no idea where the preview
instructions are, any longer.)

RGB and I and other Forum mavens are going to work something up and I'll bring
it into the blog queue by end of day Monday (US PST).
@Rob: Meanwhile, please go ahead and add it to the podling status file.

Thanks! My English level is not good enough but I'll ask for help on the
forums. As soon as I have something, I'll come back.

What you have done is 'publish' the post with a future date.
For people to 'preview' a post one must save it as a draft entry first.
With WLW - the 'Post draft to blog' button is what you need.
To get the preview URL, sorry but I think you'll just have to log in to the OOo blog, choose
to view the posts and then click on 'edit' , this will give you the URL.
You can then use the url mode you mentioned earlier for people to log in and preview such as:
https://blogs.apache.org/preview/test/?previewEntry=this_is_a_draft_post
or in your case:
https://blogs.apache.org/roller-ui/authoring/preview/OOo/?previewEntry=openoffice_org_migration_the_community
or the whole community can preview a blog post without logging in and without needing an account, do this by
removing 'roller-ui/authoring/' from the URL to give you an open one like:
https://blogs.apache.org/preview/OOo/?previewEntry=openoffice_org_migration_the_community
Should you wish posts/previews to be private and not open for inspection by the general public then asking people
to log in and view the post within the GUI is the only way to do that - clicking on
http://blogs.apache.org/roller-ui/authoring/entries.rol?weblog=OOo
and logging in will give all OOo authors access to the posts to look at.

We've learned that peers is a term that works with LO. I would suggest that or related. This way no one will get hung up on relational distance and who is the black sheep of the family.

Nice effort put into this. Some grammar-weenie-ings and thoughts...
-- "including of ones own posts" should be "including of one's own posts".
-- "Forum operation More-experienced" should be "Forum operation.
More-experienced".
-- "The Forums embrace all of the descendants of the original
StarOffice/OpenOffice.org that have become siblings in the
OpenOffice.org galaxy. Tips and solutions in the use of one release
are often useful to users of a product cousin having the same
feature." Given descendants and siblings, what is a "cousin"? Is
this a term of art[1]? Does it refer to a branch within OOo, or a
branch outside of OOo such as LO?
-- "The OpenOffice.org Community Forums are one way that the Web
connects users of OpenOffice.org-related products. There are
additional communities across the Internet with similar concerns as
well as different specialties. These can employ mailing lists,
Internet news groups, and other web-based forums. The Web and search
engines bring the different resources of these communities into the
reach of each other and users everywhere. The OpenOffice.org
Community Forums are now continuing as a substantial resource of that
extended community." Not sure this paragraph is as useful as a
statement that URLs have been preserved to keep existing search-engine

This displayed perfectly on my iPhone!
Very nicely done Gavin!
BTW- I recently forwarded a request for redirection of qa.oo.o/issues to issues.a.o/ooo from the French forum admin. I think.someone else will do it. If needed I'll create a Jira issue Thursday.
Thanks for all your support!

Actually, that was thanks to me, I turned you delayed post into a draft, otherwise
it would not have been possible to preview, please re-read my post, it is correct.

Ahah! There is a public review location for the post. Thanks to Rob for
<https://blogs.apache.org/preview/OOo/?previewEntry=openoffice_org_migration_the_community>.
The CSS and formatting don't show in that view, but the text is all there.
I see that I must do this more often, so I don't forget the ceremonies
involved.

@ Marcus: I forgot how to get to the editor view. I found it again, thanks.
I also found Full Preview, which is how to learn how Roller named the file.
That was the tricky part.
@ Gavin: Thanks. I thought the idea was to post-date posts, since I assume
they are still editable. Now they are also publicly reviewable, which seems
important since there are only a few of the podling having logon credentials
for the blog.
@ Louis. That's right, there is separate authentication to author/edit on the
Roller account. It's not a personal blog (though there is a way to aggregate
personal blogs at Apache Planet). There is a protocol about having posts be
where they can be reviewed.

Interesting. When I post from Windows Live Writer, I have no idea what URL
Roller gives to the post, so I can't find it at the preview location. I know
the post is there because Windows Live Writer can show me all of the posts
that the blog has, and my post-dated one shows there. But I still don't know
the correct name to plug in as post-name-goes-here

RGB and I and other Forum mavens are going to work something up and I'll bring
it into the blog queue by end of day Monday (US PST).
@Rob: Meanwhile, please go ahead and add it to the podling status file.

Thanks! My English level is not good enough but I'll ask for help on the
forums. As soon as I have something, I'll come back.
