Hi Mike, I see Sigrid has created your ODFAuthors account. You can create an account on the wiki yourself.
The best way you can help right now is to review and edit chapters of the Base Handbook for LO v5.0, which has been translated from German into English. Some parts were translated and edited several years ago, but the book has been updated since, and the newly translated parts need editing. http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/base-handbook/drafts_5.0 Dan Lewis is working on Chapter 1; I am working on Chapter 2; Steve Schwettman is working on Chapter 3. You could start with Chapter 4 or choose any other file in the book. Some sections need heavier editing than others, to match the writing style and the terminology used in the rest of the book and in our other books. However, if you'd prefer to do something else, that's okay too. We've been concentrating on the user guides, but there are other docs to choose from; just ask for other suggestions, or look around and suggest something yourself, if some topic particularly interests you. You will have questions. It's best to ask them here on the list, not directly to me, because I'm often not available but someone else can usually help you. --Jean On Wed, Oct 28, 2015 at 2:06 AM, Sigrid Carrera <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Mike, > > I have created the ODFAuthors account for you. > You should have gotten an email with a link to set your password. > > I let Jean give you the information on how to get started. > > Welcome to the team! > > /Sigrid > > On 27 October 2015 at 12:13, Jean Weber <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Mike, >> >> Welcome!
