As most of you know, there is a great deal of uncertainty about the future of OpenOffice.org, in particular future releases. Clearly there will be a need for ongoing support from the community for the many people running OOo, so we should finish the v3.3 user guides that we're working on, but will there be a need for new updates? I don't know.
The main OOo website hasn't been loading properly for over a week (although the wiki and the forums continue to work fine), so no one can download the almost-finished OOo 3.4 unless they happen to know where to find it on one of the mirrors. Is is worth the effort to work on user guide updates for OOo3.4 until/unless we know that it will actually be released to users? I don't know about you, but I don't think it's worth my time to do so. I do plan to see that the OOo v3.3 books are completed and published. The OOo Impress Guide is almost done. I'm not sure what to do about the Draw Guide, which Martin is updating to LibO 3.4, as there are some differences between OOo and LibO. If anyone is keen to do an OOo 3.3 version of the Draw Guide, do say so on the list. Those of you who are most keen on the user guides might consider moving to the LibreOffice Documentation Team, which has been rebranding the OOo v3.3 guides to LibO and will soon start updating them to LibO v3.4. The LibO Docs team is also getting involved in blogging and planning other ways to provide users with information. We're also in the process of reorganising the Docs wiki and producing a Contributors' Guide for the Docs Team.
