Function docs: msg#00052gnome.documentation
I'm aiming for a mid December release of Gnumeric 1.2 and we need to give the poor translators a full month to get things up to snuff. Before they start in on the rather massive function docs it is important to get a thorough audit done of the existing strings. With 400+ functions this sort of work needs to be parallelized. We could use the help of the Gnumeric community and the GNOME documentation team. Things to look for - Basic grammar and spelling - Validating SEEALSO links - Consistent use of argument names on related functions - Readability - Unknown/Unexplained terms and concepts - Missing details (eg common error cases) The majority of the functions are in MS Excel and OpenOffice (we're only missing about 4 of excel's 300+ functions). So there are lots of available sources to cooroborate the docs. I'm going to propose that we use a simple list based protocol to manage the work. If anyone is interested in helping, please select a set of strings from gnumeric/plugins/{fn-*}/*.c gnumeric/plugins/number_theory/numbertheory.c gnumeric/plugins/derivatives/options.c gnumeric/plugins/gda/plugin-gda.c They are usually of the form help_functionname Then send a message to gnumeric-list@xxxxxxxxx detailing the set that you'd like to claim. I'll coordinate to avoid conflict. Thanks in advance for your time, Jody |
