Hi :) The new Getting Started Guide is nearly ready! You can have a sneak preview at http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/getting-started/published-lo-4.0/gs4.0-full-book-pdf/view Please let us know if anything appears to be wrong.
The guide will appear on the proper wiki in a couple of days and then in the Lulu bookstore and maybe on the official LibreOffice website a few days after that. Sorry i can't give precise release dates. Errr, please noticethat i have heavily edited Jean's email to hopefully make more sense to the Users List. The original was written for the Docs Team. Normally i would dare edit other people's post in lists but be aware that it's always possible.
