Funny you should mention this when http://documentation.openoffice.org/faqs/installation/003.html has existed for at least the past five years, if not more. We, at the documentation project, are working to consolidate the faqs on the wiki. However this is a mammoth task and is taking time. If you would care to join us in this effort, your help would be most welcome. > > ANOTHER idea........ > I wanted to make a small cash donation and have a Paypal account.
