Hello,
I hope I am not breaking too many rules, but I'd like to help out with writing
documents. How exactly do I get started? Sorry for bothering.
It looks like your message got lost in another email conversation - you
replied to an existing email conversation on a different topic instead
of starting a new message. Not a problem, but next time, start a new
message when you want to start a new topic instead of replying and
changing the subject on an existing topic so that everyone catches your
messages.
You're more than welcome to jump in and help out with the Documentation
project.
We have two main mailing lists: [email protected], for
discussions related to project infrastructure and policy, and
[email protected], where writers, editors, reviewers,
and others discuss documents they are working on.
We recommend you subscribe to each of these mailing lists.
To subscribe to the dev list, send a blank email to
[email protected]
It appears you're already subscribed to the
[email protected] mailing list, so you're half way
there :-)
To get an overview of the project, look at the Documentation Wiki at
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation There you will
find most of the documentation that we have available for OOo. The box
on the top right of the Documentation Wiki, "Want To Help?" contains
some helpful information to you get started.
Work on the user guides mainly takes place through the OOoAuthors
website, http://oooauthors.org/english/. Those docs are then made
available through the Documentation wiki.
Most of the other materials produced and maintained by the Documentation
Project, including how-to's, tutorials, and FAQs, as well as documents
for system admins, programmers and developers, are Wiki-based. You
should set up an account on the Wiki as well.
You are welcome to join in at any level you wish. Please introduce
yourself to the team here once you've subscribed to both of the mailing
lists, and don't be shy about asking questions on the list when things
are unclear.
C.
