Welcome! Your experience will be a great help for the project! The first step is to subscribe to this mailing list sending an email to doc-subscr...@openoffice.apache.org (it seems you are not subscribed because your message was moderated) The user documentation is being worked on the wiki, so you need to get an account. For more details, see this page http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-doc.html You can also add your info to this wiki page: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Documentation+Volunteers The draft for the 4.0 user guide is growing here: http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide (there is a link to the "status page" at the end). There are several missing pages and holes on the existing ones, but an easy start would be to proofread the existing pages and check the information for "accuracy". Note that this guide is aimed to AOO 4.0, so there are instructions on the guide that do not completely correspond to the stable builds (like "menu Tools → Options → Apache OpenOffice": on 3.4.1 you'll find "OpenOffice.org" there) Regards Ricardo
