Welcome! I have created an ODFAuthors account for you; you should receive an email with a link to set your password. We can especially use help with the Calc Guide, both updating and reviewing it. Peter Schofield has made a start (drafts of Preface and Chapter 1) and may be working on some other chapters now. You could review those, which are available here: http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/calc-guide/draft-lo4.4 Chapters 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 in particular could use a fresh look and perhaps some improvement in content and wording -- in addition to any updates that might be needed due to changes in the program itself. (They also need updating to new template.) Latest version of book (for LO 4.1) is here: http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/calc-guide/published-lo-4.1 Or, if you prefer to make a start on the Writer Guide for v4.4, the previous version is here: http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/writer-guide/published-4.2 New template for v4.4 is here: http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/resources-for-contributers/lov4-4-chapter-template-draft/view You'll probably have questions, because the instructions in the Contributor's Guide are not always up to date or as clear as they might be. Chapter 2 is the most important; it's available in ODT here: http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/resources-for-contributers/producing-libreoffice-user-guides/view and in both ODT and PDF here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development#Contributors_Guide --Jean (Attempting to retire from Team Leader role) -- To unsubscribe 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
