Dave,
Welcome, and thanks for the feedback on the OOoAuthors website.
The very first page of the English section of the website,
http://oooauthors.org/en/ includes this list of things to do:
Getting started
1. Join the OOoAuthors site.
2. Join the mailing list. You might want to view the messages in the
mailing list archives.
3. Request author role (reviewers, indexers, or proofreaders as well as
writers need this).
(+other steps)
In your enthusiasm to get started, you appear to have done steps 1 and
2, but skipped step 3 (which has now been done). I will amend the
"howto_author" page to include this information; at the moment it
assumes a new member has done all 3 of the steps given on the first page.
Duh! Must get new glasses. Weak excuse, but best I can come up with to
cover my embarrassment. :)
I believe the response to your signup email is generated by Plone, and
thus is significantly less easy to revise, unfortunately. This may
change when we move to a more recent version of Plone sometime later
this year.
BTW, the reason you couldn't get to some of the pages on the site is
that they haven't been "published". We usually don't "publish" much
except the finished chapters (which is why you can get to PDFs), but
that does miss some pages that probably should be more accessible, like
the draft outline. I change the status of such pages when I spot them
while doing other things on the website.
Lastly, please don't attempt to use your "personal" folder, as there are
know problems with them (associated with our anti-spam efforts).
Again, welcome. It's great to have someone new to help with the Base Guide.

Thanks Jean. Before I do anything else, I better read up on the project
requirements in more detail, so I don't mess up again.
Can't promise to make any major contribution to the Base Guide, but I
will try provide something.
Dave
