Not yet. I hurled up that page just to have somewhere to start. I don't know how many people are going to be involved here or what they will end up doing. There are very few active members of the user documentation team at OOo, out of hundreds of people who have indicated interest. I don't expect much difference here, but I would love to be wrong! So what's needed, and what's a nice to have, is always at the mercy of who is available to actually do the work. Proactive people, who can see a need and do something about filling it, are particularly welcome. Regarding the online Help, specifically: I'm not sure how that will be handled here in terms of volunteer involvement, considering that the files are shipped as part of the program. I hope one of the Help people will fill us in. --Jean -- E-mail to [email protected] for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/documentation/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
