 On the EN support page(1) there are links to Tutorials for OpenOffice,
 OpenOfficeSchool and 8daysaweek.

 AFAIK, the first two resources are not being maintained since several years
 while 8daysaweek site have a big picture on the main page telling that the
 site is now closed(2).

 (1) http://www.openoffice.org/support/index.html
 (2) http://www.8daysaweek.co.uk/

 It seems a cleaning is needed. What do you think? Somebody knows about
 other sites with more updated content on English (I know a couple on
 Spanish)?

Thanks for mentioning this. Cleanup is definitely in order! When we brought
the site up 2 years ago, the links were checked, but  not recently.

Did you consider contacting them to find out the current situation?

Obviously there is no point contacting 8daysaweek, because their home
page makes it clear.

Tutorials for OpenOffice is now being worked on, but there is a lot of
material to be updated, so don't expect to see immediate changes. This
site also handles a number of support questions every day.

I am awaiting a reply from OpenOfficeSchool.

It is a shame that the ecosystem that surrounded the original
OpenOffice.org project appears to be fading away. I have done some
fairly thorough checking and there does not seem to be any new English
sites coming on-line.

Dave

OK, a slight misunderstanding. As far as I'm concerned, if the links are
still working, regardless of content, I see no reason to delete them.

They may eventually catch up to 4.0.
