Quoting Jean Hollis Weber <[email protected]>:
Just to let everyone know:
Although we are still working on the Writer Guide, most of the
chapters have been updated and reviewed at least once, so I have put
PDFs of those chapters on the Documentation wiki. If further reviews
cause changes to the ODT source, then I will replace those PDFs
later. However, I think they are "final" enough for someone to start
updating the wiki to match the ODT/PDFs.
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Chapters
The chapters that have NOT been updated are 8, 10, 12, and 13. I am
working on these and hope to have most of them ready for review
within a few days and all within a week. Meanwhile, if people would
continue reviewing the WG chapters that are on the Review List of
the OOoAuthors website, this book can move closer toward completion.

Hi Jean,
Thanks for this and for lots of hard work.
I recently had a project to do (or to contract out, actually, but it
was my project) that involved a mail merge. I wanted to use
OpenOffice, planning to publish not only the merged document but also
a detailed description of the whole process so that the little
non-governmental organizations I work with could duplicate or update
the doc as they see fit and at no cost. At first I didn't realize how
to go about the job and was trying to use the Writer Guide for OO v.2
with the OO v.3 program. A certain amount of grief ensued until I was
able to get advice about where to find the v.3 docs. Then everything
went much better.
So I thought about what I might be able to to contribute something
back. In the past on another project a lot of documentation for a
project (mifluz) was being written in English by people who were not
native English speakers. So for a while I proofread these docs to
recast some statements in English idiom and
try to correct spelling and grammatical errors.
Perhaps it would be of value to make an offer to do this here? I
already proofread a magazine published by some friends of mine,
perhaps I could for this project too? What do you think? And who
should I be talking to?
