Hello, team! We have a set of user guides which are being updated to OOo V3.3. These could be adapted to LibreOffice to provide basic info to users fairly quickly. In the short term (if not the long term) I think OOoAuthors is best placed to produce info for both flavors: OOo and LO.
I began this work last night to see how time-consuming it would be, using chapters that have already been updated to OOo3.3. The MOST IMPORTANT thing to do is update the existing chapters to OOo3.3 BEFORE anyone amends them for LO. I want to put in some variables and other tweaks to make it faster and easier to create 2 sets of docs from one set of files, but I may not have time to do as much of that as I would like until after the initial 3.3 release. (This sort of reuse was part of the plan even before LO burst upon the scene, as a way to deal with material that appears in more than one of the OOo books.) After the OOo3 docs have been updated comes checking them against LO to see what is different. I am sure that a lot of screenshots will need to be changed, as well as some of the text. I have made a template and am applying it to the OOo3.3 docs as I finish them. Then I'm going through the LO version of the chapters making some changes that I notice. So far I've done Chs 1 & 2 of the Getting Started book. I am putting what I have done on the OOoAuthors website, here: http://www.oooauthors.org/english/libreoffice3/getting-started/draft-lo3.3/ I stress that at this point the MOST IMPORTANT thing to do is update the existing chapters to OOo3.3 BEFORE anyone amends them for LO, otherwise we'll be duplicating effort. But if anyone feels compelled to jump into LO docs, please start with those.
