I see the GS33 here for OOo, http://www.odfauthors.org/openoffice.org/english/userguide3/gs3/V3_3_revisions and I suppose that is what needs to be morphed into a GS33 for LibO?

You might also look at some of the files in the English Resources space, which includes (among other things) 4 draft chapters of the Contributors' Guide for the LibreOffice Documentation Team: * Joining the LibreOffice Documentation Team * Producing LibreOffice User Guides * Style Guide for LibreOffice User Guides * Using LibreOffice's Alfresco Website These documents, and the published versions of the user guides that have already been rebranded (and where necessary) amended for LibO are also available on the wiki: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development If you are going to work on reorganising the Getting Started book, I suggest putting your changed version into Getting Started Drafts on Alfresco, so as not to overwrite the current published version, since the group has not yet agreed to my proposed changes. BTW, I have some other notes about things I think should be changed on a less dramatic scale, if you'd like to have them. You may well have even better ideas than I do. --Jean On Fri, Jul 1, 2011 at 01:30, Richard richard.h...@gmail.com wrote: Yes, thanks.
