OOoAuthors -- and OpenOffice.org -- needs YOU!
We desperately need more people to review, test and update
chapters of the user guides produced by OOoAuthors.
Constant updating is needed to keep up with changes in the
software... and that starts with being proactive in finding out
what has changed. Reviewing involves finding errors and missing
or out-of-date information, and can also involve improvements
such as rewriting and reorganising material in a chapter,
improving the graphics, and anything else that would make the
chapters more useful to users.
If you don't want to take on long-term responsibility for a
chapter, please do some one-off reviewing/testing. Please!!
Ideally you will make changes in the documents themselves, but
I'll gratefully accept email (preferably sent to the list)
pointing out things that need to be changed -- it's a lot better
than no feedback at all.
Priority items (in addition to things on the Review List) are all
the published chapters of:
* Calc Guide (many chapters are now quite old)
* Getting Started guide
* Impress Guide (not enough people reviewed this before its
initial publication)
I did the last set of updates (on the Getting Started guide) in
such haste that I'm now finding lots of errors that got missed
because no one else is reviewing my work quickly enough (I'm
fixing them as I find them).
Many, many thanks to those of you who are already contributing.
You're doing great work. There just aren't enough of you.
