[authors] Request for Author role

2009-08-12 Thread Sowbhagya Sundaresan
Hi,

I joined the OOo authors mailing list recently. I would like to request 
'Author's role' as per the instructions on your website, so that I can start 
contributing towards reviews and new articles. 

Also, I haven't been able to login into http://www.oooauthors.org/ although I 
have registered, bcos the 'login' hyperlink on the home page is not 
active. Which is the web page where I will be able to login?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I have no idea why the login links are not working for you. They certainly work 
for me. What operating system and browser are you using?


I have just given you the Author role.

   Jean,

Send me the dope off the board for assigning roles and the like for the 
new world order website.


I assume that it is up and running OK now (or usually?)?

Thanks for offering the role.

I figured out the login box on the left side of the page and it works fine! 
Initially I was trying the 'login' situated at the top, right corner of the 
page. I guess its non-functional and quite misleading.

Thanks again.

That one works for me. It takes me to a separate page where I can log in, 
http://www.oooauthors.org/login_form. But the login box on the left side of the 
page is quicker and easier.


Glad to hear you can log in now.

Welcome to the team!

Thanks. Its great to be part of the team at OpenOffice.org. 

A quick introduction about myself. I am a Bachelors of Engineering graduate 
with 2 years work experience as a test engineer, which included work in 
documentation. I am now planning to launch a career in the field of technical 
writing and I would like to kick-start with my contributions at OpenOffice.org.

My strengths include:
 
* Authoring documents that interpret a process in easy to understand 
step-action procedures 
* Creating easy-to-follow file structure which allows for effortless 
updates 
* Developing sensible file naming schemes to simplify file search 
* Strong command over English language 
* Sharp eye for detail  
Right now Im getting myself familiarized with the products and process here and 
planning to start some review work shortly. 
 
Thanks,
Sowbhagya
