Do we want to have a "call for volunteers" soon? Or do you want to
make more progress first?

Today I'm at just four pages to end the first bare-bones draft for the
Writer guide. Beside the fact that I can also write the draft for a Math
guide I think it is time to think about a call for people that can fill the
holes on what I wrote, check my clumsy grammar and start writing on those
topic I cannot write (Calc, Base, Impress, Draw, Asiatic/complex layout
language settings and macros).
Maybe we can do the call on two steps, calling first on the forums and
users mailing list for people with experience on the program (on the forums
there are many experienced users) and only afterwards make a more general
call: to write a complete user guide good will is not enough.
What do you think?

I concur that we need to start doing a call for volunteers. A two step
approach that you describe sounds like a good way to start. I have been
going through the introduction sections making grammatical changes as
best that I can, but though English is my native language, I am by no
means a grammatical expert. We need to attract not only people who can
write, but also people who can proof read and edit.
I also agree with your earlier statement that we need to agree soon on
an overall style so that editors and proof readers know what to edit
against, as well as authors to use from the start.
