my name is Andreas Nitsch (aka "Akki"), i've just joined the
OO.org-author-project and would like to introduce myself.
I'm 28 years old guy from germany and completed my degree in
computer-science one and a half year ago. Now i'm
a student of technical documentation/technical writing and i'm gonna
start writing my masterthesis soon.
Well, i haven't finished the concept of my masterthesis yet but i would
like to take a look on open-source-tools and
their role in technical writing. And in my opinion OpenOffice.org is a
great bundle of tools that can be used for
technical writing, so i would like to help the project (with
translations from english to german) and i would be also
very happy if i possibly could make some proposals to make OO.org an
even better tool for technical writers.
Kind regards

PS: My username is "akki" and i would like to have the "author"-role,

Welcome! I have given you the author role.
I hope for your master thesis you can look at open source tools
and their role in technical writing, as you suggested. That
sounds like a good topic!
I would like to talk about proposals to make OOo an even better
tool for technical writers, or perhaps just ways for technical
writers to use it better or differently. Someone (perhaps you?)
might be able to write some extensions that could be packaged and
made available for technical writers and others to use.
