Sorry, I meant here or on the JIRA.

So, after somewhat foolishly wondering why I couldn't change my
Locale, I looked at the user guide for what I (or other users)
might find on this subject and there wasn't much to go on.
If the latest User Guide was still on the Wiki, I would have made
some relatively quick edits there. Instead I used svn to get the
latest copy and tried to edit it with NeoOffice/J on OS X.
NeoOffice/J is a port of OpenOffice 1.2 and can read the ODF
format but can't save to it.
So I went over to my Linux box and used OO 2.0 and thrashed around
and made some changes (which will definitely need review by
someone...)
Should I enter a bug in Jira and attach the ODF file? Should I e-
mail Dave directly?
An alternative might be to create an errata section on the Wiki,
but then someone would need to be responsible for both moving the
errata changes into the ODF doc *and* for removing the errata when
a new ODF doc (or PDF) is released.
I'd like to help by making minor updates to docs when I find
missing info or discrepancies, but I don't know the best way to
proceed. I'm willing to learn/do whatever the team chooses, but
the easier the process, the more likely I am to make frequent,
small contributions.

p.s. For the record: my personal preference for contributing to
documentation would actually be the DocBook format, but that could
be because I was exposed to large quantities of lead as an
infant. The free-beer XXE editor is a good WYSI(almost)WYG for
DocBook. I wasn't exposed to enough lead to prefer raw XML for
writing large docs.
