We are always looking for new contributors, and we have quite a variety of writing tasks that need work. The process varies a bit depending on whether you want to work on the user guides (maintained in ODT format and exported to PDF and wiki format) or other materials (including how-to's, tutorials, FAQs, and documents for system admins, programmers and developers), many of which are Wiki-based. This (unfinished) doc is a good place to start for an overview of the work on user guides. Producing OpenOffice.org User Guides, http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Dashboard/Producing_User_Guides You've already discovered this list, which is for discussions related to project infrastructure and policy. We also have another list, auth...@documentation.openoffice.org, where writers, editors, reviewers, and others discuss documents they are working on. We also keep some of our team information (like who is working on what) on the Wiki. Therefore we recommend that you set up an account on the Wiki as well, if you haven't already. --Jean Jean Hollis Weber Co-Lead, OpenOffice.org Documentation Project - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@documentation.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@documentation.openoffice.org

Wow, you have been using OOo for a long time :-) That kind of experience is very valuable. Feel free to discuss your ideas and thoughts here on the mailing list. If you have a Wiki ID, then getting started is pretty easy. The simple things you may not think help actually are a huge help... like a fresh pair of eyes looking over the docs and spotting those ever present typos. Since it's all Wiki based, you can step in and make a quick edit. If you need any guidance with using the Wiki, then just ask - we will try our best to help. If you have ideas on how to improve the docs on the Wiki, then also speak up. You can set up test pages (sandbox pages) on the Wiki and try out a few ideas too - we all do that from time to time. Test pages can be deleted if necessary (that reminds me I need to look over some of TJs comments again). Right now, the key areas for review are the general user guides for OOo3.x... a good place to get started. So, welcome to the team!
