Forum and wiki has still the old Apache Logo

[Raphael Bircher]

Hi everybody

I just noticed, that the forum and the wiki (Mediawiki) still has the old  
ASF Logo. Ok, it's not that important, but I think, it should be changed.  
I have anymore access to the VM. Can someone with access to the VM change  
this?


Regards Raphael

Your real starting point is here:

https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide

This is for the current (4.1.x) version and is being written from 
scratch. Many of the pages need reviewing, some still need to be 
written. There are active (to be precise: willing to be active) 
volunteers on the documentation mailing list, but experience shows that 
they can only be activated with specific tasks. So I suggest that you 
review/edit some pages for a start; if you need an account, just ask here.


Regards,
  Andrea.

Hi Patricia, 

I'm not sure if I should be following up on any of the bits and pieces below. 

I could go through the process of introducing myself and getting an account, 
but it also seems like perhaps the group is inactive. 

I've looked at the wiki. The documents there are all pretty old. They may be 
ok, but they were written for older versions of the software. I don't think I'm 
in a position to "coordinate the work ". 

Thoughts?

I've tried to download and it works. So, at least it's not a general 
problem.


It's possible that a mirror is temporary not available or the Internet 
connection to/from this mirror is momentarily faulty. In this case you 
can try later or use manually a different mirror server. The following 
link is using the service provider from NetCologne, Germany:


http://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/files/4.1.3/binaries/en-US/Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.3_Win_x86_install_en-US.exe/download?use_mirror=netcologne
