Hello, all!
I've been reading the list for only a week or so, but already I think
I'm in over my head. I guess I'd like to ask some advice, before I go
around introducing myself. I am not computer savvy; like history,
politics, and economics, computers seem to be in a department that my
brain resists. However, I love the very little exposure I've had to
programming, and am teaching myself (by reading a book, which is how I
learn everything) some of that. And, to be fair, I have been learning
website management by the seat of my pants, under conditions that might
legitimately be called inauspicious.
But I'm really bad at absorbing unorganized information. For instance,
I was pretty much just lost on the OOo site; it seemed there were links
everywhere, and I couldn't figure out whether where I was was somewhere
I'd already been. I couldn't figure out where the starting point was
for contributing -- there seemed to be about 20 of them. And I couldn't
figure out whether I'd followed the steps to get started.
Anyway, I found my way here. The OOo site says there's something for
everyone to contribute, but I wonder. Here's what I'm good at:
Spelling, grammar, and (with review) clarity. That's what I was hoping
I could help with, since I copy edit complusively anyway.
Is this the place for me? Is there a place for someone who can't
discuss programs very intelligently? I'm just easily overwhelmed by
lots of information.
Thanks! If I stick around, I'll tell you things about me besides that
I'm not the genius I wish I were!
Kirsten
