As requested, I've created your account for the ODFAuthors website. You should receive an email with instructions on how to set your password. In addition to Klaus-Jürgen's suggestion about German documentation, you are welcome to work on English docs as well. At this time we are getting ready to update the user guides to LOv4.0. There are also other things you could work on if you prefer; see the "Easy Hacks" page, http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Easy_hacks and especially the "More complex tasks" part of that page, http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Easy_hacks#More_complex_tasks We won't have a beta of LOv4.0 until December, but there is an extensive features list on the wiki, so we can work on the first step of determining which topics should go into which chapters of which user guide books. We can also look at the books in terms of any improvements that might need to be made, for consistency or topic order or level of detail or whatever. The features list for v4.0 is here: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/3.7 The books will also need to include features from v3.6 and in some cases v3.5. Those lists are here: http://www.libreoffice.org/download/3-5-new-features-and-fixes/ http://www.libreoffice.org/download/3-6-new-features-and-fixes/ --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
