Hi Andrea, The humorous answer to your question is; Yes, too many ;)
Like most other aspects of open source projects, the documentation team does not allocate tasks to contributors, we endeavor make known the tasks that need to be done and we each choose which of those tasks we might wish to take on. As mentioned previously, our current target is to produce the GS guide for 6.0 and publish it around the same time as that version of the software is released. Since you have kindly offered to assist, you might consider taking a chapter of the 5.2 Getting Started Guide, for the module (eg. Writer, Calc, etc.) which you are familiar/comfortable with and update that chapter for the new or changed features for that module in 6.0 All the team asks is that if you do choose to work on one of the GS guide chapters, please send a little note to this list and let us know which one. Not that we want to keep track of, or push for your contribution, but it does help to avoid duplicated effort. I don't know if you are familiar with our documentation methods and workflow, but if not see here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development To effectively work in the documentation development process, you will need access to the ODF Authors website. If you don't already have a log-in for ODF Authors, just ask here and someone with the necessary karma will provide you with one. If you could find the time, please join us at the next (August 2nd.) on-line documentation meeting. Look out for Oliver's notice a day or two before the meeting date. Previously the number of folks attending the meetings have been pretty low (2 or 3). It would be great to have more people join in, so that we get a wider, more diverse input from our fellow contributors. Many thanks for your interest and we would very much welcome your assistance.
