Well, I would need others to help with the modules that I rarely use.
What I would like to see is the easy things first and the "harder"
things second.
I really think each sheet should have the "Tools>Options" info there and
for the General info for setting up LO. That could be the last 1 or 2
panels. Then the first 4 or 5 panels would be dedicated for the
module. This way, you will have some "generic" package stuff that may
or my not be part of Writer or Calc, etc.. I do not think having a full
sheet for setup and such would be a good marketing idea.
Maybe we can have each panel/page be dedicated to similar features or
processes.
Writer
Page 1 would be the intro to the menus and the UI. Where things are, etc.
Page 2 all of the quick short cuts and other common things.
Page 3 page, paragraph, text, formatting and other options
Page 4 more advanced stuff
Page 5 more advanced stuff
Page 6 LO setup, Tools>Options info, list of URLs for online info, etc.,
etc..
If we need more space, then we add 2 more panels/pages. I think 8
panels/pages would be the limit though for one quick sheet/guide.
Calc, Draw, Impress, would be setup the same way. Math might take 2
panels of info. Base, well I will leave that for others.
I can do a good part of Writer. I do not use Calc much, or Impress. I
know very little about Draw or Math. Nothing about Base.
I am willing to work on setting the panels up, but will need help
filling in the "advanced" info for Writer. With others gathering the
info for the other quick sheets, I will be willing to do those pages as
well as long as I have the information from those who know things better
than I do.
Yes it will be hard to get others to help with the solutions. I will be
going through the Writer guide for ideas and to others on the list for
info. Then I will post the work on one of the Wiki pages. At that
point there will be a lot of work with correcting any errors or ways to
may the wording/graphics easier to use and understand.
One visual aid with these sheets is the fact that "similar" info are
grouped in "boxes" with a light colored background. Each grouping would
have a slightly different background or different colored border to the
"box". That makes it easier to see what are things that belong together
or are a part of a solution. But all that visual aids will come after
all of the information and solutions are gathered together in some order.

Please don't forget Impress and maybe Draw and Base at the end.

We could have both.
There could be a 2 page Quick Reference "cheat sheet" for easier tasks
and then the next 4 pages could address more challenging functions.
That way anyone looking to check on (or forgetting) how to do a quick
task could see the "cheat sheet" and for the more advanced tasks the
remainder of the Quick Reference/FAQ could have graphic images of the
steps needed.
I like the idea of having one for Writer and another for Calc and
including tasks common to both.
The harder part may be eliciting solutions.:)

Those free Quick Reference guides are a start. Each package has 2
pages.
I was thinking about having a 6 page reference sheet for Writer, and
another one for Calc, with maybe 2 pages for the 6 as a "generic" info
about the Tools>Options menus. Maybe a brief info about "custom"
installs for Windows, adding extensions and templates via. the
Extension Manager, and other such info that might be wanted/needed.
So, 4 of the 6 pages will be for Writer, or Calc, or Impress, or Draw,
or Math, etc., etc., while the final 2 pages would be the same
information that you might want for any of the quick reference guides.
I still am waiting for the ones I bought. They really fill the sheets
with a lot of information, or at least with the mathematics and
science ones I bought in early 2000. I will see what they did for
Word and such.
