Hi Keith,

The Find and Replace section has now also been proof read/edited. I
will continue just working through the rest of the user guide where
ever a second reader/editor is needed if that suits.

Thanks,

Jess

 The wiki was down for 20 minutes due to maintenance by the Apache Infra
 team. You can receive automated e-mails with information when the wiki
 is taken down and back up by subscribing the "Local Monitoring" for the
 wiki: http://status.apache.org/pubsub/manage.cgi

Hi Keith,

I corrected the issues with being unable to add my signature (a

 We all make mistakes, it comes with the territory of being human. As far
 as direction is concerned, you are doing just fine. My push of late has
 been to have the Introductory materials and the Writer guide be the main
 areas of concentration. For a host of reasons the documentation effort
 has been stalled for quite a while and it is my belief that
 concentrating on those two parts of the effort is the best way to move
 forward.

Hi Keith,

I have re-written/edited Extensions, but for some reason I seem unable
to add my signature and update the status page for Extensions. Perhaps
it's a maintenance check of some sort. I will try and add it again
tomorrow regardless and continue on with my other edits.

Thanks,

We all make mistakes, it comes with the territory of being human. As far
as direction is concerned, you are doing just fine. My push of late has
been to have the Introductory materials and the Writer guide be the main
areas of concentration. For a host of reasons the documentation effort
has been stalled for quite a while and it is my belief that
concentrating on those two parts of the effort is the best way to move

 We use a status page to track where we are with the User guide.It is at
 https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide/Status. Take a
 look at the entries for the Introductory material and for the Writer
 User Guide. Any that need proofreading or are not finished, go ahead and
 work on them. Although it say proofreading, it really is more and editor
 function. Re-writing for clarity and grammar if needed, as well as style
 etc. Whatever that you do please add your signature to it. If you are
 writing it or extending it add your sig by typing `~~~ in the author
 slot, or if you ahve proofed it add your sig after proffreading by
 typing ~ (5 tildes) this will add your Signature and a date/time
 stamp. Just let the list know wht you are going to be working on so we
 do not step on each others toes.

 Two documents you will want to refer to extensively are the Guide to
 Editing Guide at
 https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Dashboard/Wiki_Editing_Policy,
 and the Style Guide  at
 https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Dashboard/Help_Style_Guide.

 Welcome to the OpenOffice documentation team. Currently we are working
 on trying to get the introductory material and the Writers Guide
 sections of the User Guide completed and released. To help with these
 tasks you will need an account on our Media Wiki(Mwiki). To request an
 account send an e-mail to this list requesting an Mwiki account an
 include your preferred user name, e-mail address and one of our admins
 will create it. In the mean time I would suggest you peruse the
 following: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Contribute.
 Some of the information is a bit dated, but still much is useful.
 Also you can peruse the user guide at
 https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide to see how it
 is organized and what you might like to start on.

 Once your account is done and you are ready to start working, come back
 to the list and let us know and we will get you started.

 Again welcome and I look forward to working with you.

 Regards
 Keith McKenna

I have done as requested though my name did not show up on the main

We use a status page to track where we are with the User guide.It is at
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide/Status. Take a
look at the entries for the Introductory material and for the Writer
User Guide. Any that need proofreading or are not finished, go ahead and
work on them. Although it say proofreading, it really is more and editor
function. Re-writing for clarity and grammar if needed, as well as style
etc. Whatever that you do please add your signature to it. If you are
writing it or extending it add your sig by typing `~~~ in the author
slot, or if you ahve proofed it add your sig after proffreading by
typing ~ (5 tildes) this will add your Signature and a date/time
stamp. Just let the list know wht you are going to be working on so we
do not step on each others toes.

Two documents you will want to refer to extensively are the Guide to
Editing Guide at
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Dashboard/Wiki_Editing_Policy,
and the Style Guide  at
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Dashboard/Help_Style_Guide.
