Hey Jean,
I'm used to using LO so ODF would work for me.
I've written documentation for programs that I've written. I've been
writing test scripts quite a lot recently. Are there test scripts for
LO Base? Maybe that might be a good use of my time.
I'm no C programmer so I don't think I've got a lot to offer with
coding. I'm assuming that LO Base is primarily written in C.
I have a son who speaks German so maybe I can ask him to help me
translate the German Base documentation into English.
I've got an account on ODFAuthors. I wasn't able to make much of any
sense of what I found there.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply. I hope I can be of some
use to the project.

I'm travelling and will be offline for about 24 hours, nor can I check right
now to see if you have an ODFAuthors account. When I get home I should stay
there for a few months (unusual for me), so I may be have time for some
hand-holding.
Let's start by finding out what you might like to do, and what if any experience
you have with producing user docs, whether book length or shorter (how-tos,
tutorials, examples, FAQs, tips & hints). Do you prefer to work in ODT format
or wiki format or what? So far most of our user docs are in ODT/PDF but there is no
reason why everything needs to be in that form.
Give me some feedback on those topics and we'll take it from there.

Personally, I love this string. I tried to sign up to help with the documentation for
Base since that is where my interest lies. I got as far as joining this mail list. My
experience is more in line with Tom's description. I would really appreciate someone
volunteering to "hold my hand" as I take a second shot at joining the
documentation team. Anyone want to step up??? ;-)
