First let me apologize for not getting back to you sooner. I had sent a reply earlier and inadvertently sent it to the wrong place. That is what I get for trying to do these things at 2:00 AM. Below is my original response. Welcome to Apache OpenOffice and the documentation team. Your skills as a tech writer and graphic designer are most welcome. For an introduction to the Apache Way you can look at the orientation pages at http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/index.html; especially levels one and two and then the level three Documentation page at http://s.apache.org/11I. Help is needed in all areas from writing to editing. Also needed is people with experience in technical writing to help guide and mentor new volunteers and to help put in place things like a style guide and possibly other high level documents. The draft for the 4.0 user guide is growing here: http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide (there is a link to the "status page" at the end). We use this mailing list to discuss the changes. In general we can say that the approach is ● small changes like fixing typos and formatting errors: just do it! ● new material: just announce it! Both at the beginning of your work and when you are done. ● big changes like moving sections or rewriting existing material: discuss first on the list! Again welcome to the documentation team and I loo forward to working with you. Regards Keith McKenna
