Hotkey reference pages?
My personal preference for documentation is usually immediate-answer
stuff like reference pages and very specific how-tos, as opposed to
general guides and introductions. Perhaps that's just me coming from
a programming perspective.

Don;
Immediate answer pages are great and they serve a useful purpose.
However there is also need for In depth Guides and Introductions such as
the Getting Started Guides. There are still many of us that prefer to
have hard copy documentation that we can highlight and mark-up as fits
our learning styles.

As we wait, patiently, for the new doc list to be created, it might be

I know there has been talk about "getting started" guides, perhaps
done on the wiki.
Another idea I had was a very targeted version of that, thinking
specifically of Microsoft Office users migrating to OpenOffice. Would
it be worth having a small guide just for them, say the "top 10"
helpful hints for MS Office users, things they might find confusing at
first.
For example:
1) In Calc, the argument separator is a semi-colon, not a comma.
2) In Calc, toggling absolute address mode is done by a shift-F4, not an F4
OK. Maybe we end up more with 40 or 50 things like this.
Would this be useful and worth trying?
