Good idea. I can't think of anything to add to the list at this time. I'll consider what the description should be for a documentation-specific pamphlet (and maybe some of the others). I speak at technical writers' conferences and could use a recruiting pamphlet that takes a "what's in it for me if I volunteer to help write/edit/index documentation?" approach for potential volunteers; another approach, not necessarily in the same pamphlet, would be "what can LO do for me as a technical writer?" --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: 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/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
