If you want to work on English docs, the biggest need right now is to work on the conversion of OpenOffice.org Calc guide and Draw guide chapters to LibreOffice. Some chapters have been done but most have not been finished. Conversion requires some new screenshots as well as careful checking of features and functions, some of which are different.
