Hi Bonnie, Thanks for writing and expressing an interest in volunteering with the Apache OpenOffice project! We're just starting up an effort to prepare new user documentation for Apache OpenOffice 4.0, expected before mid-year. We're currently outlining the user guides and discussing some technical matters on how we will do the work. So it is a great time to get involved. Since this is an international project, with most volunteers speaking English as a 2nd or 3rd language, having a strong proofreader is excellent. And even with native speakers we need someone to adjudicate American versus British variations! I'd urge you to subscribe to our documentation mailing list by sending an email to doc-subscr...@openoffice.apache.org. After sending that email you will receive a confirmation note. When you respond to that note you will then be subscribed to the mailing list. Regards, -Rob > Cordially, > > Bonnie Smith Ries
