Recent discussions about help-wanted for Apache OpenOffice bring to mind that we have not taken advantage of this.
It is useful in that it provides a single item (could be on download page and other places) that expands into as mucy coverage as we are willing write items for. Please take a look. See what could be done with respect to Documentation and Guides, for example, as well as other activities that we rely on volunteers for. - Dennis PS: A plus to using this system is that the help-wanted listings are visible beyond the AOO pages where we put widgets that filter for AOO help-wanted items. So someone looking into documentation work on any project would find our needs. > -----Original Message----- > From: Dennis E.
