Our biggest need is for people to update chapters from one version to the next, and preferably to take responsibility for an entire book or a specific topic area (such as printing or styles or graphics) that is covered in several books. However, this isn't a one-off commitment and requires some study of our style guide and template as well as good writing skills in English. The next most important need is for people to review draft and published chapters for accurancy. Anyone can do this, and it's not a major commitment of time. It's not even necessary to have an ODFAuthors login, though that helps by making the process of returning edited files easier. As an alternative, people can download published chapters from the wiki, then write an email describing any errors they've found and post the email to the Docs list. --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
