Greetings Josh;
Welcome to Apache OpenOffice and especially to the Documentation list.
Since you are new to contributing your first course of action should be
to go through the orientation modules here:
http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/index.html.
The first 2 levels of the orientation will give you broad project wide
information and skills that any contributor should have no matter their
areas of contribution.
The third level introduces the many areas that one can contribute to.
Since you are interested in User Documentation the Introduction to
Documentation would be a logical choice. This particular unit is very
new and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Again welcome and I look forward to collaborating with you.
Regards
Keith McKenna
