@Keith--
Happy to hear there's progress in this area! :)
Unfortunately progress is VERY slow. Only one new volunteer stepped up to
help. I will be doing an update to the list hopefully in the next few
days
as to where we are.
We could do a "call for volunteers" to find more people interested in
documentation. If we promote this like we did QA, Marketing and
Translations, we could easily see 10-20 people express serious
interest. But for this to work it is best if there is some framework
they can fit into, some plan or structure that they can add their
efforts to. For documentation an outline at the very least.
If you are interested in getting more volunteers this way let me know
and I can help on the recruitment.

Rob;
A call for volunteers would be helpful, but with with Jean no longer
actively working on the project there is a lack o the skills she had in the
field to make that coherent outline. Let me get together an update for were
we are as far as the print documentation and hopefully it will clear my head
a bit for the longer term needs.
That would be the point of a call for volunteers then, wouldn't it?
Bring in more volunteers with the skills needed to create an outline,
etc. There are independent books written on OpenOffice and certainly
Microsoft Office all the time. There are many people who have the
skills needed. All we need to do is ask.
The goal should be (IMHO) to reach a critical mass of volunteers where
the tasks are not only doable, but fun.

Rob;
Your original response, to me at least, implied the need for a an
outline or framework to be in place before the call would be effective.
if we can attract people with the needed skills then I am all for it. We
need to start a serious discussion about where we go with documentation
for the 4.0 release.
Lets go ahead and put out the call or volunteers for docuentation. What
do you b=need rom me at this point to get started?

Keith
