I am interested in helping with the User's Guide. I have been using

If interested you can contact me at the e-mail address below.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Hi Kenn. Welcome to the OpenOffice.org Documentation Project.
The first thing to do is subscribe to this list, or you won't see any
replies. Send a blank email to dev-subscr...@documentation.openoffice.org
The Documentation Project has two main mailing lists:
dev@documentation.openoffice.org, for discussions related to project
infrastructure and policy, and auth...@user-faq.openoffice.org, where
writers, editors, reviewers, and others discuss documents they are
working on.
We recommend you subscribe to each of these mailing lists. To subscribe
to the authors list, send a blank email to
authors-subscr...@user-faq.openoffice.org
To get an overview of the project, look at the Documentation Wiki at
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation There you will
find most of the documentation that we have available for OOo. The box
on the top right of the Documentation Wiki, "Want To Help?" contains
some helpful information to help you get started.
Work on the user guides mainly takes place through the OOoAuthors
website, http://oooauthors.org/english Those docs are then made
available through the Documentation wiki.
Most of the other materials produced and maintained by the Documentation
Project, including how-to's, tutorials, and FAQs, as well as documents
for system admins, programmers and developers, are wiki-based. So you
might want to get an account on the wiki as well.
BTW, we are in the process of evaluating what the Project is doing and
how it's doing it, so some parts of the wiki and the website are being
reorganised and rewritten. If some things seem inconsistent or unclear,
that's probably why. We also use the wiki for planning purposes. You are
welcome to join in. And don't be shy about asking questions on the list
when things are unclear.
C.
