I'd call it A Guide to Apache OpenOffice for Former Microsoft Office Users or And End User's guide to Moving from Microsoft Office to Apache OpenOffice something like that. +1, and in that light it makes it probably more useful to that User set. Certainly more so than a document that can be used to ease migration Where I could offer more new content would be on the higher level migration issues, organizational strategies/approaches for migrating. Excellent, especially for Large Enterprises. I've been involved with migration in Corporate environments but usually only at the implementation stage and only once at the planning stage and even then it was limited to driving the senior management team to see the benefits and to get them behind it. That particular migration is why I'm so keen to get a decent Migration Guide. The move to OOo was successful for over a year and a new head of ISS came in and bought MSO licenses across the org. That was not such a big deal, the big deal to me is that there was hardly a wimper of objection from Dept heads. My gut feeling is that initially the whole thing was done as means of reducing licensing penalty exposure. They had bought a large Govt Department and had no idea what their IT hardware and software inventory was. (I was told not to tell anyone about the migration because they were very concerned about a BSA audit that could have run into many hundreds of thousands of dollars in non-compliance penalties). One of the reasons I hate the idea of us claiming Cost Free. They went back to MSO easily because the exit from OOo was seen as Cost Free. What REALLY peed me off, was that MS got to crow about the shift back and I had been sworn to secrecy! So any Corporate Migration Guide has to honestly assist in cost evaluation of exit strategies in both directions. I can estimate but really it's way outside my experience.

The tasks would be mainly: 1) Update branding, logos, references to websites, ownership, license, etc., of OpenOffice. 2) Update screenshots to current UI of AOO 3) Update any technical content that has changed, e.g., platforms supported, file filters, etc. 4) Write content for new migration-relevant features in AOO. 5) General technical and editorial review of the content. Any other ideas?
