I need one or several volunteers to put the OOo3 Draw Guide on the wiki.

I have set up the chapter level table of contents and start page here:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Draw_Guide

This is just the start. Each chapter of the book needs a separate
chapter TOC on the wiki, divided at the OOoHeading1 level of the
chapter.

If you've never wikified a big document, you may find this a bit
daunting, so someone who knows more about it might finish setting up the
pages so others can paste in the contents. Or if you're feeling
ambitious, study one of the existing books (eg Getting Started) to see
how it's done. That's how I learned! I didn't have anyone to explain it
to me. (Mind you, I did some things wrong in the beginning and had to
tidy them up later, but no harm was done.)

The essentials are as follows:

1) Obtain and install the Sun Wiki Publisher extension to OOo.
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/wikipublisher 
Restart OOo after installing this extension.

2) To export, open the ODT in Writer and use File > Export. Choose
MediaWiki as the file format in the Export dialog and choose where to
put the file on your computer. It will have a .TXT extension.

3) In OOo, create a macro and paste in TJ Frazier's code for
post-processing the output of the MediaWiki export filter (the TXT file)
to clean up the code for tip/note/caution tables.

4) Open the TXT file in OOo and run the macro. Then manually insert
filenames for images. You may (almost surely will) find some other stuff
that needs to be tidied up.

5) Divide the chapter into pages at the OOoHeading1 level and add the
navigation, copyright & other info at the top and bottom of the page.

6) Paste the results into the wiki pages and upload images.

I get the images by unzipping the ODT file, going into the PICTURES
folder, and renaming the pix. Others may have different methods.

No doubt I've forgotten some essential step...
