Re: OpenOffice Documentation offensive ;)
Hi Peter, I'm sorry to say that although I find the project very intriguing, I am not able to commit at this time. I wish everyone the best.

Re: Can we get this started again?
Great! One more week thank goodness. A little about me, I'm a computer science professor right now, but I was formerly an art history professor who taught English and writing. Grammar is a passion of mine. Right now, I'm training my students to use Microsoft office (I feel about mentioning that name, but it's part of the college cirriculum) and I the experience is really helpful in showing me how different types of users interact with the software and how they best understand concepts.

Re: Can we get this started again?
I am interested but just joined. I'm a professor and it's Final Exam week. I can discuss after exams are over if that's okay. I've been meaning to get caught up on reading first but I am behind.
