IMO the first thing needed for the LibO docs is REVIEWING (to see that the content is accurate), after which comes editing (which is probably what everyone erroneously calls "proofreading"). Sigrid would be excellent at REVIEWING; that is, spotting what needs to be changed from the OOo docs to turn them into LibO docs, since she is very familiar with OOo. I suspect that is what she has in mind to do. Actually, from working with Sigrid over the past 6? longer? years, I can say that she will do an excellent job regardless of how she chooses to contribute. :-) Including, perhaps, writing up some of the LibO features that are not part of OOo... though that might not require separate chapters, but rather additional sections in existing chapters. --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/documentation/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
