[libreoffice-documentation] I'm Matt
Hello, My name is Matt Zamudio and I am an experienced writer and editor who hopes to learn the ropes of technical writing by working with the LibreOffice Documentation Team.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Contributing to LibreOffice documentation
Thanks for the help Dave! You're right-it looks like I wasn't logged into my account, my mistake. @Jean: I now have access to the docs as well as a wiki account, and I will try my best to look through the docs for the next little while.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Contributing to LibreOffice documentation
Thank you for your help Jean, I just finalized my account on ODFAuthors. However, both the feedback 5.2 and drafts 5.2 folders are empty for me, do I need additional privileges to fully access them?

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Contributing to LibreOffice documentation
Thank you for the information Jean. I'll take a further look through the documentation in the morning. Also, I don't seem to have an ODFAuthors account yet, so I haven't been able to review the links you sent me. Thanks for letting me know about the processes though, I look forward to contributing to the project in the near future!

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Contributing to LibreOffice documentation
Hi Olivier, Thank you for your response. Are the docs mainly situated in the books on the documentation page? I think I would prefer to handle the Getting Started pages first, and then progressing from there to other projects. That being said, is there any rudimentary work that I can do to get familiar with your protocols? I downloaded the doc template off of the website, but I was wondering if there was some proofreading work or basic writing work that I could practice on before handling a larger project.

[libreoffice-documentation] Contributing to LibreOffice documentation
Hello there, My name is Matthew An and I am a recent graduate of the Rhetoric and Professional Writing program at the University of Waterloo. I was hoping to contribute to the LibreOffice documentation as a Writer or Reviewer. I have previous experience at IBM as a technical writer as well as a small startup company in New Jersey. At the moment, I am in the process of entering graduate school in the fall, so I thought I could use my free time to hone my tech writing skills. Please let me know if you would like a copy of my resume. I hope that I can give back to the software that I developed most of my writing skills with!
