Interesting idea. An alternative would be to write to the author and
briefly describe how to accomplish a similar result in OOo.
Then it makes OOo user look like a bunch of super computer geeks who
already know how to do what they need. That leads to:
1) The impression that "normal" people cannot use OOo
2) There is no need for the author to write OOo-specific articles, as
the OOo users already know how to do what they need
Mmm... I disagree. Offering a solution that's mainly point and click in Ooo.org will illustrate how little one needs to be a geek to use Ooo.org. It requires very little effort from the writer of the article. And it prevents the author (who's probably not familiar with Ooo.org) from finding an over-complicated solution that would make Ooo.org look complicated.

Offering the author an additional content item on his/her website/blog about this item in Ooo.org will also increase traffic to their site (it's called "third party content" and is an enrichment for a site). Not only will search results on "create TOC ms word" lead them to their page, but also "create TOC openoffice writer" - thus increasing the visitors to their site (what many bloggers apparently seem to want)

Obviously the most important part here is to have a clear and simple solution. [snip]

Thanks, Jurgen. Couldn't have said it better myself.
