I hope I did this right. I want to review Working with Styles in Writer - ODT,
and I think I changed the state to retract, but I'm not sure.

Any help as to how I can tell? I'm using Foxfire.

Thanks,

Lou

That explains a lot. I am confused about what's what, and which documentation I should be using. What is the relationship
between openoffice.org and OOoAuthors.org?

OOoAuthors is a major development site for OOo documentation.
The documents we are producing are placed on the main OOo
website when they are published.

We are also the main development site for the FAQs that are
posted on the Docs website. Docs has a "spider" program that copies the FAQs from OOoAuthors to the FAQs page at Docs.

The reason so many of us work on a different website is that we
find the OOoAuthors software easier to use for collaborative work.

Of course, you can work with OOoAuthors and directly with Docs at
the same time if you want to; several of us do just that. For example, I know GRSingleton has been asking for people to review and edit the user guide he wrote, and there was a how-to recently mentioned at Docs. Instructions on what to do are on the Contributors' page at Docs:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/contributing.html

In any case, I'm ready to start writing and editing (by your rules, of course). Where should I start?

Short answer: see the first page of the English section at OOoAuthors and follow the links from the section "How you can help at OOoAuthors" and "Review a current chapter": http://oooauthors.org/en/index_html

There is nothing on the review list right now, so the top priority is checking the "pre-release" published chapters. Details of which files to choose and how to deal with them are on this page:
http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/userguide2/contribute

I would write more but I'm really tied up with family obligations this week.
