I have put the following information on the website, http://www.oooauthors.org/english/userguide3/res3/howto_update.
Our goals for the next round of reviews and updates of the OOo user guides (Getting Started, Writer Guide, Calc Guide, Draw Guide, Impress Guide) are: 1) Put chapters into new template (mainly new branding). Getting Started has been done. 2) Make improvements, including new screen captures where needed to include new icon sets. For screen captures, be sure to use the Galaxy icon set (in Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > View), not Automatic (which can vary with your operating system). For more about creating and inserting images, see http://www.oooauthors.org/english/userguide3/res3/howto_figures Other improvements might include adding topics or examples (or creating stand-alone tutorials or how-tos and referring to them from the user guide), revising topics to make them more useful, reorganising chapters (either moving topics within a chapter or, in some cases, moving material from one chapter to another), and so on. When in doubt, ask! 3) Update the chapters for any changes coming in OOo V3.3 (due out in October, unless it's delayed). At some point this means downloading and installing developers' builds and beta releases of OOo 3.3 for testing and screen captures. You can get these builds from http://download.openoffice.org/next/index.html If you have never dealt with developers' builds before, many people at OOoAuthors can help you with any questions you may have.
