As you have probably noticed this mailing list is very inactive. Currently our User Guide effort is is housed on our Media Wiki (mwiki) at the following url:https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide. There is a status document at https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide/Status that shows the current status of effort. Please understand that the project does not have the resources to mentor contributors in the intricacies of the discipline of Technical Writing. You need to be a self starter that can see what needs to be done and then go do it. If you have questions this is the place to ask them. It is also the place to let people know what you are doing and what your progress is. The following links will give you a broad overview of the effort and the minimal style requirements. https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Contribute https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Dashboard/Help_Style_Guide https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Dashboard/Styles#Styles_used_in_the_Documentation_Project_Wiki The following link is an indispensable reference on the style used on the documentation wiki and a reference of the many different shortcut templates that are used for such things as notes, warnings, etc. https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Dashboard/Wiki_Editing_Policy Regards Keith
