How does one edit or author a user manual?

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Editing and authoring user manuals
Just to add my 2ยข. Yes, Sigrid is a busy person, but is normally around and quick to help, allowing for international time zone differences. On the ODFAuthors site take a look at: http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/resources-for-contributers The info is a bit dated and I am trying to find the time to work on it, but it should give you a reasonable guide to how LO authoring works.

I have set up an account for you on ODFAuthors - you should have received an email with a link to set your password. With this account you can even see documents, that aren't published yet. You can download any file and modify it and re-upload it to the website. If you inform us here about your new uploads, then we can check / proofread, what you've done and give you feedback.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Editing and authoring user manuals
Hi :) At the moment you have to request that someone registers you on the ODFauthors website. Then just wait for one of the 2 people who can set-up an ODFauthors account to set one up for you and send you the login details. Both are very busy and rarely around. Alternatively you could work on the wiki where you can register yourself and just get on with it - or on the inbuilt-help. Both areas have been suffering from a desperate shortage of people.
