Hello Thomas,

beforehand, please note I answer your question in
[email protected], our project's (Base's) mailing list [1]. Using
this list scales much better than personal mails, thus please also
answer in this list.

In the minimal for, "joining" a project simply means this project
appears in the "My projects" list at the "My pages" link. Nothing more
than this, since you can also participate in the project work without
having formally joined it.

There's a big role/privilege model with the projects, where you can
request / be granted roles in different projects, which give you certain
privileges. However, that's nearly all I know about it, so don't ask for
details, please :). As said, if you want to participate, that's
completely independent (for the beginning).

If you want to provide any kind of assistance, you're highly welcome.
The first thing you should ask is where your skills are - are you a
developer, a technical writer, a QA person? As every OOo project, Base
has more work for all categories than people being able to do it.

You might want to follow some links in the "Participation" section of
http://dba.opeoffice.org/, or we can discuss here in the list what you
have to offer.

Thanks & Ciao
Frank
