I am one of two editors on this project (the other is Janet Swisher), and I do a lot of coordination for the English-language books. Janet edits the Writer Guide, and I try to keep up with all of the others. I'll write again later today with some specific suggestions on how you can help. For now, here's my general introductory note. First, join OOoAuthors and send your username to the list so one of the managers can grant you the "author" role, so you can access parts of the website that are not otherwise available. Meanwhile, you can read these two pages for instructions on how to join and background information on how we do things: http://oooauthors.org/en/index_html http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/userguide2/resources/howto_review The second one has links to useful how-tos on retracting a file, naming conventions, and uploading a file. Do read the style guide and "Writing OOo Guides", and you might also like to browse through some of the published chapters to get a feel for the writing and presentation style we have chosen. http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/userguide2/resources/style_guide_v2.0.sxw/f ile_view http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/userguide2/resources/Writing_OOo_Guides_v2. 0.sxw/file_view Cheers, Jean CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE - - - - - - - - - - 200345 (Can/US)(04/02) This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
