Greetings,
My name is Gary Lyons.
I use the Version 2 beta flavor of OOo on both WinXP and Linux (Suse
9.2) and would like to volunteer for the documentation project. I
believe the requirement is to ask for the authors role. Please consider
this an official request for that role. I just registered on the authors
site, my user name is glyons.
My background is in systems administration--UNIX, Windows, and SAP
applications. This said, I am quite familiar with technical
documentation--some good, some bad. In fact, some of it is valuable only
in the sense that it was delivered on recyclable media. You might gather
that I am not a fan of technical manuals that read like technical
manuals. I think it is important to keep the reader engaged.
To try to alleviate the dullness of that particular category, I enrolled
in our local community college's Technical Communications program. To
that end I have become the proud owner (renter?) of Adobe Creative Suite
(for the heavy lifting) and Office 2003 Pro (for the, ahem,
requirements.) So far I have scored well in both the design and writing
aspects for this program.
I am most familiar with writer and calc. I have played around with draw
and base but haven't done anything that would resemble real work in them.
I also recently registered for the discussion mail list (the digest
actually) so I have been kind of lurking there.
Please let me know what I can do to help. I'm afraid the only languages
I know are English, Perl, and ksh. Well, a little csh, but if it went
away quietly I wouldn't complain.
The week of Aug. 8 I will be sans computer, so if I don't respond to
emails it's not because I'm not interested.
I'm off to download the latest versions.
Thank you,
Gary Lyons
