Much if it is background info on how we're organized and make decisions. From the documentation perspective, the main start-up things to do are: 1. Make sure you are subscribed to this mailing list (send an email to doc-subscr...@openoffice.apache.org if you still need to subscribe) 2. Sign up for accounts on our two wikis (details in the http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-doc.html page) 3. Add your info this this wiki page: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Documentation+Volunteers > I work particularly well, as a new volunteer, with concrete tasks > being assigned and ensuring an understanding of the expectations.

You can see the draft material on the wiki here: http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide One easy way to get started is to take one or more of the chapters and edit it for style and usage. (We'll also do a technical review pass later once 4.0 feature work has completed).
