[documentation-dev] Introduction and Wiki FAQs

[coro]

By now, it has possibly occurred to some to wonder who I is. I've actually 
been registered to OpenOffice ever since I think version 1.12 was out. I 
still use 1.15 in the Office while using 2.0 at home, due to hardware 
issues. For whatever the reason, I seemed to have joined QA, while 
subscribing to this mailing list. Beats me what the heck happened. Since 
then, I've just been kind of watching the occasional e-mail pass by without 
having a good idea of how I might further my involvement. 

Meanwhile, I accidentally re-stumbled into Wikipedia which had improved over 
when I had originally stumbled into it. I had the opportunity of been able 
to do a total overhaul of the Desalination article, of which the overall 
structure is still recognizable as being my doing. Along the way, my 
Wikipedia involvement led to Wikicities,(now known as Wikia), where I am 
currently an admin on six wiki's. 

Between one site and another, I seem to be using two user names. Coro and 
Kirk. Kirk is the user name I use when it is available. However, in the case 
of both OpenOffice.org and Wikipedia, somebody has managed to beat me to it. 
So I wound up being Coro instead. At Wikia where my involvement is more 
semi-official, I use my given name. I also have used it at the OpenOffice 
Wiki as well. 

Discovering the OpenOffice Wiki this month has proven to be nice in that it 
appears to provide an avenue for greater involvement on my part, as I have 
managed to develop some amount familiarity with the workings of the 
Mediawiki software being used, and can perhaps help out in the wikitech side 
of things. 

As Scott Carr knows, I have been working on getting the User FAQ's set up. 
It can be seen at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/FAQ:Overview. 
Right now, I'm working on the Formula FAQ, and need someone to look at what 
I have done so far on it, to ensure that I handling it appropriately, before 
I continue with that one. 

In the meantime, I've managed to relocate my OpenOffice login and have 
presumably "Joined" the Documentation project in the process, and we will 
see where things go from here.
