Thanks for the welcome. I'm hoping I can help out in some way with
documentation. I checked the documentation web site but it seems to be unavailable
right now, so I'll keep trying.
I worked as a product development engineer for many years (non computer rel
ated product), until I had to opportunity to take an early retirement offer
last year. On that job, I used MS Word and Excel on a daily basis for at least
10 years. I've taught adult education courses in Excel for around 4 years
now. I've used strictly OpenOffice on my home computer for the past 3 years.
Recently, I started a part time job as the OpenOffice trainer for a
non-profit health-care organization that is transitioning its 200 computer users from
MS Office to OpenOffice. This has provided me the opportunity to greatly
expand my knowledge of OpenOffice. Before this job, I thought I knew OpenOffice
fairly well; but I knew what *I* used OpenOffice for, which was a small
fraction of the full capabilities of the suite. Now as people come to me with
questions about things that I never faced in my own use, I need to do some quick
learning myself to be able to assist them, to minimize the time and
frustration they might spend trying to work things out on their own.
I greatly appreciate all of the documentation that exists, and the users
formum where I've submitted a number of questions already (and received helpful
answers). I'm looking to do something to contribute to help make the
documentation even better.

A big welcome to you. As you have joined our merry little
group today, I encourage you to take a pass through the task list and
see if anything attracts your interest. You might also like to email
the list with a short bio.
Great to have you.
Since you are teaching, perhaps you would be so kind as to have a look
at a presentation I made for a LUG meeting. It is cobbled together and
saddly out of date. Any improvements would be appreciated and then we
could stick it on site in the main repository. Docs and files is NOT a
good place. The URL to the file is
http://documentation.openoffice.org/files/documents/75/2635/tlug2005.odp
If you can handle Issue Tracker, we can make a task for this very easily
as well.
BTW, Gerry, I used that Presentation on Wednessday night and everyone
really liked it.
Not too sure how close I kept to the original, as I was kinda out of
it. Decided to get sick about 2 hours before doing the presentation,
and got studily worse throughout.
All in all, things went pretty good.
