We are in total agreement that it is way past time when we need to
publish some up-to-date documentation.

Not sure that a review is strictly speaking a contribution, Although the
2010 Getting Started 3.3 edition preface shows:

Contributors
OpenOffice.org
Jean Hollis Weber  Michele Zarri
Magnus Adielsson   Thomas Astleitner
Richard Barnes Agnes Belzunce
Chris BondeNicole Cairns
Daniel Carrera JiHui Choi
Richard Detwiler   Alexander Noël Dunne
Laurent Duperval   Spencer E. Harpe
Regina HenschelPeter Hillier-Brook
Richard Holt   John Kane
Rachel Kartch  Stefan A. Keel
Jared KobosMichael Kotsarinis
Peter Kupfer   Ian Laurenson
Dan Lewis  Alan Madden
Michel PinquierAndrew Pitonyak
Carol Roberts  Iain Roberts
Hazel Russman  Gary Schnabl
Robert Scott   Joe Sellman
Janet Swisher  Jim Taylor
Alex Thurgood  Barbara M. Tobias
Claire WoodLinda Worthington

And the 2013 3.4 edition adds:

Contributors
LibreOffice
Ron Faile Jr.  Jeremy Cartwright
Jean Hollis Weber  Martin Fox
Andrew PitonyakHazel Russman
John A Smith   David Michel
Peter SchofieldDan Lewis

It may well be that the preface of the 2022 4.1 edition is yet to be
finalized, but at this stage there does not appear to be any
acknowledgement of previous contributors. Since this and previous
editions of the guide are adaptations of the original oooauthors
publication, it seems only fair and reasonable that previous
contributors should be acknowledged.

I have no great interest in attribution, but if you wish you can add me
(Dave Barton) to the above mentioned contributors when I have finished
and submitted my review.

Regards
Dave

That is precisely the one to review Francis. Thank you for checking.


Hi Keith,

I have downloaded a copy of the AOO41GS.odt file. I am prepared to also
review it if you think yet another pair of eyes might be helpful.

Dave

The more eyes the better. We have had problems getting this right due to 
issues with AOO, and it is high time that we were able to publish it


Also, who do I attribute you as having contributed to the book.

Regards
Keith

Hi Keith,

I have downloaded a copy of the AOO41GS.odt file. I am prepared to also
review it if you think yet another pair of eyes might be helpful.
