Hello all--I'd like to help out with LibreOffice documentation. My background is a BA in English and a Masters in fine arts in creative writing. At my current office job in the insurance field, I'm finding myself slowly putting together an instruction manual for my job (which is relatively easy, but no one really knew how to do it after the old person left). My hobbies and interests lie more in the internet/technology fields though. I'd like to move more toward the technical writing field but I'm having a couple of problems: namely, no experience in the field, and no real idea of what type of technical writing I want to do (software, something else, etc).
So I'd like to get involved with LibreOffice documentation so I can get a feel for this type of writing--I'm especially interested in getting experience with causes that I support like the open internet. I do have gobs of writing experience, but as I don't have specifically tech writing experience, I imagine I could be of most use right now in the proofreading/reviewing/editing area--eventually though I'd like to help with authoring, indexing, and web content development. I'd like to request an account at ODFAuthors.org, and, if someone has the time, a little guidance on where to go from here. I imagine my immediate next step will be to read through the documentation wiki, so I'll work on that.
