Being technical writer for the past three years I never had an opportunity
to work on open-source documentation. Though new to OOo I am eager to learn
and extend my help in any of the documentation project.
Please free to drop a line and I would be happy to help you.
Welcome!
The contributors' page has some general getting-started information:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/contributing.html
You can choose to create or edit material on the wiki or in *.odt files,
or both. FAQs, tutorials, how-tos, and other material are mostly on the
wiki; user guides are in both wiki and *.odt format.
Most of the user guide work is done through the OOoAuthors website,
http://oooauthors.org/en
We produce the user guides in *.odt, then export as *.pdf for the
Documentation website and as mediawiki for the wiki. The main need at
the moment is for updating OOo2.x chapters to OOo3 and writing missing
chapters, especially in the Calc Guide. Check the OOoAuthors site for
more info about getting started there.
If you prefer to work on the wiki, let the list know if you want to do
FAQs, howtos, user guides, or something else (or a mix of things).
I can give you more info on the status of user guide chapters on the
wiki. Many of them need to be converted, uploaded, and have the figures
added. Many OOo3 illustrations are unchanged from OOo2.x illustrations
already on the wiki, and others have changed.
