Hi Marc, Those are good points -- thanks! I'll update the page today accordingly.

Thanks for doing this. Always nice to give some direction to new-comers. The list looks good and not complicated. Nice! Perhaps letting new comers know that helping out does not necessarily mean a large contribution of time, and that any amount of contribution, no matter how much or little time involved is most welcomed. Many people think that you have to promise hours of time but really, even if all it involves is about 5 minutes/day or 20 minutes to help proof messages or fix wiki pages, then this is also welcomed. One other aspect that I usually think really important is that people should have fun contributing ... it is not a job, but volunteered time. If it becomes a "chore" helping out and no fun, then they could try another section with LibreOffice and see if they could contribute elsewhere -- it is amazing how one's talents can be put to good use on the project!
