A detailed help follows below:
 
−
* Before creating the page make sure there isn't a similar page in the [[:Category:{{{CATEGORYNAME}}}|{{{CATEGORYNAME}}} category]].
 
−
* If the page is a subpage of an existing page, create a link to the new page on the existing page. If it is an altogether new page for the {{{PROJECTNAME}}} Project, click on the "edit" button at the bottom of the box on the top right part of this page, and under the "Key pages" header, add a link that looks like this:
 
−
 
−
<nowiki>* [[PAGENAME]] </nowiki>
 
−
 
−
* In the "Summary" box below the text edit box, add a note indicating what you've done to modify the list page (in this case "Added PAGENAME to list of pages" is a good summary).
 
−
* Scroll down and find the red link that you just created. Click on it to start editing.
 
−
* Index the new page in the Marketing catgory by placing the following code in the First line:
 
−
 
−
<nowiki> {{Marketing}} </nowiki>
 
−
 
−
:* If this page belongs to any other categories, add a tag in the following format:
 
−
 
−
<nowiki> [[Category:XXXX]] </nowiki> ("XXXX" is the EXACT category name)
 
−
 
−
* Then add 2-3 lines of empty space and start writing. Check out existing pages to see how they are organized and formatted.
 
−
* What to write: a short mission statement for the new page, then write the proposed contents for the page. When done, give a clear description to your changes in the "summary" box.
 
−
* ''ALWAYS PREVIEW'' your work before you save it! After you've previewed it, click on "Save Page" to save your work.
 
−
:* Don't select the "This is a minor edit" box unless all you've done is fixed the spelling, grammar, or some MINOR formatting.
 
−
:* If you keep "Watch this page" selected, it will be added to your [[Special:Watchlist|watchlist]] (no, you won't be sent e-mails when they are updated, unless you ask it to in your preferences).
 
−
* Announce the changes to the {{{MAILINGLISTADDRESS}}} [http://marketing.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectMailingListList mailing list] (send a completely blank e-mail to {{{MAILINGLISTSUBSCRIBEADDRESS}}} address to subscribe) or to the people who are working on the page (by clicking on their user name, then on the "e-mail this user" link on the left column of their user page).
 
−
* Keep an eye on your contributions. If they are reverted, it is probably for a reason. Find out why so you don't make the same mistake again. If they are kept, then you're doing good things!

Navigating the {{{PROJECTNAME}}} Project Wiki

To navigate to different pages in the {{{PROJECTNAME}}} Project Wiki, click on the links in the sidebar on the top right of most {{{PROJECTNAME}}} Project pages.

By clicking on a category, you will view all the pages that have been added to that category.

Pages are the Project's main pages, or help organize the wiki.


Notes about using the Wiki

  • Each page has both an Article tab and a Discussion tab (although the "Discussion" tab may not have any content). The Article tab is for the content in development. The Discussion tab is for commentary on the content.
  • Red links or tabs indicate pages that do not exist.
  • You must be registered and logged in to edit the Wiki (we recommend using the same username as on the OpenOffice.org website). This prevents spamming, the cleaning of which takes away from our time spent contributing!

Announcing changes

  • Announce the changes to the {{{MAILINGLISTADDRESS}}} mailing list (send a completely blank e-mail to {{{MAILINGLISTSUBSCRIBEADDRESS}}} address to subscribe) or to the people who are working on the page (by clicking on their user name, then on the "e-mail this user" link on the left column of their user page).

Final Note on Contributing

Wiki is intended for collaborative work and for immediate access to start writing. Because the wiki is new and lots of discussion still takes place on the mailing list, we strongly encourage you to announce new pages or major changes to the list.

We hope you don't find this too complicated, and that you do find it fun to work on the {{{PROJECTNAME}}} Project!
