In the world of open source software LibreOffice has one of the shortest time based release cycles. One downside of this schedule is that the Documentation Team has been unable keep pace with the release frequency for publication of the User Guides. With the release of LO Version 6.0 targeted for Q1 of 2018 <https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2017/04/21/new-branding-libreoffice-6-0/>, the Documentation Team is attempting to proactively begin work on the “/Getting Started/” guide now, in order to have at least the basic guide ready for publication by the time version 6.0 is released.
To achieve this target the Documentation Team is seeking the help of new and past authors/reviewers. While skilled technical authors will always be welcome, anyone, regardless of their writing skills and knowledge of the software, can contribute to this effort. The only requirements are, a reasonable ability to read and write in English. Users with little or no previous experience can make a valuable contribution, by carefully following the revised guide chapters and reporting anything that does not agree with the actual software, or is not sufficiently clear for inexperienced users to understand. If you would like to help in any way, please email a request for more information to the Documentation Team: documentat...@libreoffice.org <mailto:documentation@global.libreoffice.org> Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
