For your review, here are some suggestions.
1.) Edit > Changes > Show
2.) Edit > Changes > Record
Then make any changes in the text. Your changes included spelling,
added words, and and deletions you make. Any additions that you make
will appear in the text as underlined. Anything you delete will have a
line drawn through it in the text. Just remember that you are deleting
anything from the document: you are only showing what you think should
be deleted. When you are finished, upload the file to the draft folder
(Writer folder for Base folder for Base documents, Writer folder for
Writer Documents, etc.).
After uploading the file to the ODFAuthor website, send a document
to this mailing list telling us what you have done and include a link to
the file in the ODFAuthor website in your email.
3) For making a comment, click where you want the comment to go. Use
Control+Alt+C to create it and enter your remarks.

I get that, but where do we post our reviews? On ODFAuthors? On a
conversation here? I'm not sure...

I already have a ODFAuthors account, but am not sure where to start.
I'm not sure which chapters of the CG I need to read, and some of the
chapters seem to be missing. Can you let me know which one explains
the different tasks (in particular proofreading and reviewing). I
have seen the first few, but I'm a bit stuck as to what I need to do
- the instructions on the of the page don't make sense
I would say that a reviewer studies the information in the document. Is
it correct? Is it easy to understand? Could it be done better - for
example by using lists or tables instead of plain text? Would
additional or different illustrations be appropriate? Has anything been
missed out that ought to be in there?
A proofreader looks for spelling and grammatical mistakes, smooth flow
of the language without unnecessary repetition, illustrations that show
what they're described as showing, correct numbering in lists, correct
cross-references, and so on.
A reviewer needs technical knowledge; a proofreader needs linguistic
fluency.
