In my message to GRS of 27 Feb, I offered to assist with documentation
for OpenOffice. I have been following the messages on this link ever
since, and wondering just how to begin.
<snip>
I notice with interest that matters of format and punctuation in the
documentation are still being debated. While OOo2.0 is a new product
(relatively speaking), I would have thought that these matters had
already been solved in previous documents. (Please this is not a
criticism, just an observation). Other questions related to this arise
in my mind. vis. Spelling: American, Canadian, British, Australian, or
whatever.
I do wish to help. At this point I am not still sure where I can fit in.
Come over the OOoAuthors, http://www.oooauthors.org
OOoAuthors is the "development" site for documentation, and documentation.openoffice.org is the user site. All the work done at authors, when published, is transfered to the Docs site:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/index.html
OOoAuthors is a fantastic team of people, we are very active, very busy, and very needful of your help. :-)
Right now we are working full steam on the user guide for OOo 2.0. Our goal is to have a comprehensive guide the same day that the software comes out.
We have a very active project (one of the most active in OOo). And we'd love to have you. Please join our mailing list and say "hi":

You should also set up an account on our website so you can start doing work. To help you get started we have written a "getting started" page,
http://www.oooauthors.org/groups/authors/userguide/gettingstarted
I look forward to meeting you at Authors.
Cheers, Jean Hollis Weber
