Good morning, Jean,

Thank you for the welcome note. I have already joined OOo authors and
downloaded all the appropriate background material and how tos. I'm ready to
go! My user name is canadianwriterman.

Welcome! 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.
