Having trouble finding out how to download OpenOffice. I go to the
Download tab and there’s no option there to download. Help?

Hi, Elissa,
Sorry you're having download trouble; let me talk about that first.
When you click on the "I want to download" on the site's main page, you
should see an expansion (colored green) which states what version the
site thinks (it's really very clever) you should want. There's also
another link to "Looking for a different version?", just in case.
Clicking on the first link should do two things: (1) take you to a
"please donate" page (strictly optional!), and (2) start the download
automatically. (Under Firefox, I get a "What do you want to do with this
file?" message box. YMMV.) The last line on the page is a link that
should start the download manually, if the automation fails. It's about
180 MB, which takes about 4 minutes on my 10-Gbit cable service, with
the Ff "Down Them All" add-in (or 8 /hours/ on a 50-Kbit dial-up!).
If you see anything greatly different, please write back.
There may be service interruptions, as OO.o moves to its new home under
the Apache Software Foundation, on Apache servers.
Meanwhile, about documentation: Thank you for your interest in helping
with user documentation for OpenOffice.org.
Please see this page for more information, particularly the section
about mailing lists.
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Dashboard/Introducing_OOoAuthors
If you have trouble accessing that page, there is a read-only test
copy on the Apache server (OOo is becoming ApacheOO).

You may also wish to consider the LibreOffice Documentation team. A
number of people involved in the Apache OpenOffice.org project also
work in parallel on the LibreOffice project. More info here:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development
To join the LO Docs mailing list:
documentation+subscr...@global.libreoffice.org
If you decide you'd like to join one or both of these projects – welcome
aboard!
