Don't concern yourself too much about "screwing anything up", because everything is fixable and nobody will get upset about a genuine mistake. Probably the only semi-important thing to remember is renaming any edited files you check back in. (See point 1 below.) You should find answers to most of your questions at: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development If you need any further clarification please write back to this list. In answer to your specific questions: 1. See: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development#Uploading_a_file_after_a_review Change the name of the file you are checking back in to include your initials and editing date. Something like: BH4204-Forms_AC_PG_01Oct2014.odt (The AC indicates that you reviewed Alan Cook's revision.) Then change the status here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development/UserGuideTasks#Base_Handbook 2. The choice is yours. If you are interested in working on the Base Handbook there appears to be plenty to choose from at: http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/base-handbook/drafts_4.2 3. See: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development#Downloading_a_file_for_review Then change the status here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development/UserGuideTasks 4. For chapters you want to work on I would recommend the ODF Authors website: http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english It appears that Jean has made the Base Handbook chapters "Externally Visible" (ie. no log-in required), but if you want to retract (ie. work on) them you will need to log-in first. I believe the above information to be accurate, but others will undoubtedly correct any errors I may have made. I hope this helps.
