Josh,
Two things.
1. I had to moderate this message to let it through.
2. At 8:36 PM EST, I checked, and your email address IS on the list.
Sadly, I cannot reconcile (1) and (2) unless it took an hour for your
name to make it to the list. Give it another try.

Thank you for the welcome. I don't know if I am just daft and doing
something wrong, I attempted to confirm my email address for the wiki
accounts, but I have not received the message (checked spam folder,
etc). I left ample time (a day or two?) to be sure, but so far
nothing.
Otherwise I seem to be signed up for everything else.
Looking forward to diving in.

Hi Josh, welcome to the Apache OpenOffice project!
The Introduction materials are useful, they changed over the course of
going through the Orientation, to include more steps in the "Get
Started" section.
There is a lot of material there. 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. With
time, taking the initiative to find projects won't be a problem.
We're working on the 4.0 User Guide right now. 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).
Regards,
-Rob
Thank you.
