Thank you. Hi Sean, Bianca, thanks for your note. Some quick thoughts and I'm sure other OpenOffice will have their own. 1. How much time are you willing to put into this? Is there any guidance from your course on how big (or small) this assignment should be? Do you need to demonstrate specific techniques or methodologies? 2. Have you ever created a YouTube video or similar? IMHO we have a lot of written documentation. Much of needs to be updated. But that is a large task. A more self-contained task might be to create install walkthrough videos. Maybe other videos for the "top 10" user FAQs. Regards, Rob P.S. Please respond to the entire list to continue the discussion. > Regards,Sean Gayton and Bianca Kosir.
