John, here's the starting page:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/index.html
Note: the Formula Command Reference and Formula How To (the two items under
Math) have been superceded by Chapter 16 in the Writer Guide, which is also
on the wiki.
Side note to Frank: I have not figured out how to display all the math
symbols and equations on the wiki. I found the instructions for math markup
in the wiki help but it doesn't seem to work, so perhaps that module has
not been installed on our wiki?

Frank,
I'm willing to lend a hand by checking HowTos and moving valid ones
across or re-writing them if need be.
I'm a frequent OOo user and always learning how to do stuff better. The
modules I work with most are:
1) Writer,
2) Impress,
3) Database,
4) Calc,
in that order.
How should I go about it and what permissions do I need? In particular,
where do I access the old HowTos now that the Documentation site points
to the WiKi?

Jean,
I notice there is no direct link from the Documentation Project's
first page to the HOW_TO page. (I would expect to find it in the
"Download Documentation" section.) Is this an oversight, or is it
deliberate, perhaps because so much of the material there is out of
date, being for OOo1.1 and sometimes not applying to 2.x?
Yes. The Howto section desperately needs a cleanup. The valid
Howtos need to be moved to the wiki. I started to do that, hence
I link to the wiki, not the web. I admit I haven't come very far.
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Project_DocOOo_Structure#HOW_TO
shows the list and status of the howtos.
I could add a link to ther homepage stating that some of the howtos
may be outdated.
I just need time to move them. Sigh.
Volunteers? Anyone? :-)
