Right now, there are two primary areas where your contribution would be valuable: (1) a new set of User Guides (coordinated through the documentation mailing list, using MediaWiki as the publishing platform); and (2) the actual OpenOffice internal help files. If you're interested in working on User Guides, you could start here: http://www.openoffice.org/documentation/ and, I would suggest you subscribe to the documentation mailing list -- see the mailing list page: http://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-lists.html If you want to get into something "more challenging" using the XML files of the internal Help, please see: http://www.openoffice.org/documentation/online_help/ and subscribe to this developer list. In any case, we are here to make your experience successful. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions. Thanks for volunteering. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MzK "Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities.
