Please don't start a new topic on an old thread; your note may not be noticed. I have moved your note to a new thread. Where to start: Tell us a bit about yourself, your background with OpenOffice.org, and what you might like to work on: user guides, FAQs, tutorials, other? I will give you the Author role so you can read draft documents on the OOoAuthors website. This is where the user guides are worked on. Start by reading the documents linked under the heading "Getting started with OOoAuthors" on this page, http://oooauthors.org/english Further up that page is a link to a list of tasks needing to be done. On the lower left of that page is a Review List, which you will be able to see once your Author role is active. A high priority task at the moment is reviewing the draft chapters of the Writer Guide which are being updated for OOo 3.3. For this work you will need to have the latest Release Candidate (RC) of OOo 3.3. Unfortunately, right now this is not available for download, because RC7 is coming soon. An earlier RC of 3.3 (but NOT 3.2.1) will work fine for review purposes, if you happen to have it. --Jean --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
