I see you could use some help in the writing department. It says to send an
email and introduce myself so... here I am! I'm Heather Sargent, owner of
JustWrite (commercial writing company) and aspiring novelist. I'd like to
contribute something to you guys so let me know how I can help and what you
need to know from me.
Hello Heather, and welcome to the OpenOffice.org Documentation
Project. We have two main mailing lists:
dev@documentation.openoffice.org, for discussions related to project
infrastructure and policy, and auth...@documentation.openoffice.org,
where writers, editors, reviewers, and others discuss documents they
are working on.
We recommend you subscribe to each of these mailing lists. If you
don't subscribe, you will not see any replies to your messages, and
you will not be able to participate effectively with the team.
To subscribe to the dev list, send a blank email to
dev-subscr...@documentation.openoffice.org
To subscribe to the authors list, send a blank email to
authors-subscr...@documentation.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. The
box on the top right of the Documentation Wiki, "Want To Help?"
contains some helpful information to you get started.
Work on the user guides mainly takes place through the OOoAuthors
website, http://oooauthors.org/english/. Those docs are then made
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. You should set up an account on the Wiki as well.
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
reorganized and rewritten. If some things seem inconsistent or
unclear, that's probably why.
You are welcome to join in at any level you wish. Please introduce
yourself to the team here, and don't be shy about asking questions on
the list when things are unclear.
