... because the chapters are distributed separately, it might be a good idea to indicate that the chapter is part of a larger document. For example, "Chapter N of OpenOffice.org XXX Guide". We don't otherwise indicate that, currently.
I generally agree with this suggestion. The main reason I've avoided doing anything about it is that the number of chapters and their order in most of the books has been a moving target. When that settles down (say, when we actually put together a book), then giving chapters a number is probably a very good move. A variation could be to simply say "this document is part of the XXX Guide" without a number.
That reminds me of two other items that I need to add to the proposed new template, probably somewhere on the Overview/Copyright page:
* Date of issue (day, month, year)
* Version(s) of OOo to which this chapter applies, or which were used when writing it
