Just a note, it looks like with this release they've changed the folder
locations for things, perhaps moving to the final locations. If you've
setup shortcuts for your launchers on the previous developer releases,
you may need to change them. It's establishing a new folder in your
home directory as well, but it looks like it'll still run side-by-side
with 2.x -- at least on my Ubuntu system. I haven't yet installed on WinXP.
Thanks,
Sak.

Barbara, et. al.,
It looks like Release Candidate 1 came out today, build m5 according to
the developers. You can download it from here...

Thanks, Gary. I just tried the download from the main OOo website,
and it apparently only offers 2.4.1. Is there another way to download
3? I am not using Vista, so that should not be a problem.

Reviewing documentation for content accuracy would suit me just fine
as I need to learn more about all parts of OOo anyway. In the past I
have found that people who don't know too much about the software
catch the doc errors more quickly because they have to follow the
instructions :)
Couple of questions:
1. I would be working with V3 documentation, beginning with the
Getting Started module, right?
2. I am currently using V2.4.1 of the software. I presume I will
need to download V3, right?
Thanks.
You can keep both versions 2 and 3 on your system. Because of
differences between the two, it's best to use the most current version
for your work. I still use v2.4.1, although v3.x sometimes fails on
Vista. That's probably more of a Vista issue, but Vista works OK with
everything other than OOo.
If Jean wants to get out another print version of Getting Started,
then
work on that first or do it concurrently with anything else.
