Hi,

After some months without any activity on the (English Language) Base Guide, I recently volunteered to try to help move it forward. Therefore, I am probably considered to be the current editor of the document.

As far as I know, the only other person working on the document is Vasudev Narayanan (also known as Dev), who got in touch to offer his assistance. Any other help is always welcome.

In the first instance I would suggest you contact Olivier Hallot through this email list. He is the LibreOffice Documentation Team Coordinator and is usually happy to guide new contributors through the onboarding process.

Regards,

Steve

How can I get a slot to contribute to the document?

Regards

    I think it would be best to first get in touch with the editor of
    the document, he might have some arrangement with other reviewers
    standing in line (or not) so you can agree on the next steps and
    take out the chapters as they are ready.
    From then on it will be more automatic, I guess ...

        Thanks Martin. Of course, I'm following
        https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation which has a
        fair amount
        of "(update in progress)".

           1. So do need to request approval from the Main Editor to
        join or do I
           just add myself to the list for the doc/version?
           2. I've used Google Docs before with concurrent users
        editing documents
           without any real problems. Do I have to wait for a current
        rewrite/review
           to be complete before I can propose changes?
