Hi Hazel, and welcome to the OpenOffice.org Documentation Project. We have two main mailing lists: dev@documentation.openoffice.org, for discussions related to project infrastructure and policy, and auth...@documentation.openoffice.org, where writers, editors, reviewers, and others discuss documents they are working on. We recommend you subscribe to each of these mailing lists. If you don't subscribe, you will not see any replies to your messages, and you will not be able to participate effectively with the team. To subscribe to the dev list, send a blank email to dev-subscr...@documentation.openoffice.org To subscribe to the authors list, send a blank email to authors-subscr...@documentation.openoffice.org To get an overview of the project, look at the Documentation Wiki at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation There you will find most of the documentation that we have available for OOo. The box on the top right of the Documentation Wiki, "Want To Help?" contains some helpful information to you get started. Work on the user guides mainly takes place through the OOoAuthors website, http://oooauthors.org/english/. Those docs are then made available through the Documentation wiki. Most of the other materials produced and maintained by the Documentation Project, including how-to's, tutorials, and FAQs, as well as documents for system admins, programmers and developers, are Wiki-based. You should set up an account on the Wiki as well. We are in the process of evaluating what the Project is doing and how it's doing it, so some parts of the Wiki and the website are being reorganized and rewritten. If some things seem inconsistent or unclear, that's probably why. You are welcome to join in at any level you wish. Please introduce yourself to the team here, and don't be shy about asking questions on the list when things are unclear. When documents come up for copy-edit, it is usually announced on the mailing lists. The most recent that various team members have been proofreading and copy editing is the Writer Guide.
