Hello, I have been using OpenOffice for a few years and am impressed with
the progress it has made. I have decided I would like to contribute to the
development by helping out with the documentation.
My background is in software development and ESL teaching so I have a good
grasp of computers and language. I was a programmer for almost 10 years and
was involved in various projects ranging from software for client-server
platforms to wireless hand-held devices. Language teaching has kept me busy
for the last few years although I still manage to do some development on my
own time. I also enjoy studying Mandarin although I would not say I am at a
level to do any translating (yet).
I must admit my motives are not altogether altruistic. I have recently
started a language services company and some of the services I want to
offer are technical writing, proofreading, editing, etc. Unfortunately with
no experience it is difficult to convince customers give you a try. So I
would very grateful for any help or guidance in these areas.
I look forward to working with you and on the project in many capacities.
PS. I will be unavailable from January 25 to February 1 due to the Chinese
New Year holiday.
