I would love the opportunity to contribute to the OpenOffice user guide. I
am a full-time survey research manager and part time student with experience

What can I do to help?
Welcome, Maria. The first thing to do is subscribe to this list, or
you won't see any replies. Send a blank email to
dev-subscr...@documentation.openoffice.org
The Documentation Project has two main mailing lists:
dev@documentation.openoffice.org, for discussions related to project
infrastructure and policy, and auth...@user-faq.openoffice.org, where
writers, editors, reviewers, and others discuss documents they are
working on.
We recommend you subscribe to each of these mailing lists. To
subscribe to the authors list, send a blank email to
authors-subscr...@user-faq.openoffice.org
To get an overview of the project, look at the Documentation Wiki at
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation
There you will find most of the documentation that we have available
for OOo.
Work on the user guides mainly takes place through the OOoAuthors
website, http://oooauthors.org/english Those docs are then make
available through the Documentation wiki.
Most of the other materials produced and maintained by the
Documentation Project, including how-to's, tutorials, and FAQs, as
well as documents for system admins, programmers and developers, are
wiki-based. So youmight want to get an account on the wiki as well.
BTW, we are in the process of evaluating what the Project is doing and
how it's doing it, so some parts of the wiki and the website are being
reorganised and rewritten. If some things seem inconsistent or
unclear, that's probably why. We also use the wiki for planning
purposes. You are welcome to join in. And don't be shy about asking
questions on the list when things are unclear.
