Hi :)
Many apologies for this delay!  It takes the Documentation Team a loooong
time to register people at the ODFAuthors site!  A several months delay is,
hopefully(!), the longest we have had!!  

It would be good if you gave a preferred user-name otherwise y9ou just get
assigned something sensible.  Many people prefer to have the same user-name
in many different places.  


In the meantime there are a couple other thins you might be able to help
with.  

The Faq section of the wiki;  
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq
is being translated from French 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/FR/FAQ
by 1 or 2 people.  It is possible that it would help to have a proof-reader
to help smooth-out some of the initial translations.  Sometimes i find
non-native speakers are tooo perfect and such translations need to be
roughened up a bit to bring them in-line with normal common-usage.  The wiki
is easy to self-register on and so you can get started as soon as you like.  

Even more help would be if you could help the couple of people working on
the "in built help".  I have no idea how to get started with this but i get
the impression that it helps to have a passable understanding of xml tags. 
I don't think you need to know what they mean or what they do, just to
understand that you only edit the text OUTSIDE the tags and maybe avoid
touching anything inside the tags.  If you've done any html editing then xml
tags will be very familiar.  One neat way of handling it is to use a
text-editor that can colour-code xml coding.  Probably best to avoid using a
word-processor even Writer.  Almost all text-editors do colour-coding except
Notepad.  For Windows maybe SCiTe or Notepad++ or GEdit or ... well there's
a lot of choices.  I like GEdit [shrugs] it looks simple and lets me focus
on the words.  

Working on the in-built help would be fantastic because the translator teams
prioritise doing that far ahead of the Published Guides!  It would be a
struggle trying to get involved so it might be easier to start off with a
light-hearted race through the wiki's Faq.  Does either sound plausible?  

Apols again and regards from 
Tom :)
