Sincerely, Matthew Weinman Welcome Matthew; First let me apologize for the lateness of this reply. Unfortunately your original got lost in the fairly hi volume traffic of this list. If you are interested in joining the documentation team I would suggest the following page as a starter. http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-doc.html. This is the orientation page for the Documentation team. I also highly recommend the level One and Two pages from http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/index.html. They give a good overview of how the project is structured and the infrastructure that it utilizes. Your background in English will be a great help as we need editors to review and make changes in grammatical structure and the like. Some of our writers do not have English as a first language, and some of us, mostly myself, are native speakers, but are not always expert grammarians. I look forward to working with you.
