You may already have these specific items on your list of things to include. 1) How the OOoAuthors website and team (both in English and other languages) fit into the rest of the Documentation Project. ODTs, PDFs, wiki. 2) How the various languages fit together on the wiki. Not just technically, but who does what when. How much is translated from English vs original in other languages? 3) Specifics on opportunities for volunteers, and where they are needed most. BTW the Contributions page on the Docs website needs updating. It´s on my to do list. 4) How the printed books fit it. Who does them etc, noting that some of the OOoAuthors books on Amazon are NOT put there by members of the community. I can draft something on items 1, 3, and 4, when I get back from Peru in early August. Some discussion might focus on how to recruit and especially keep volunteers, mentor them, organise work, and so on. Numerous volunteers have mentioned feeling a lack of specific direction, which they want. I have some ideas which I don´t have time to type now, nor do I know how practical they are. There are several things I would like to do personally but don´t have the time.
