New Doc volunteer
Hi listmembers!
Please allow me to introduce myself...my name is Chris Johnson and I'm a
tech writer with over 10 years of experience. (I also have a decent amount
of QA experience.) I've been out of the TW field since 2011 but
am currently veering back into the field and would love to contribute in
any way I can to this effort! I live in Massachusetts and am enjoying a
nice winter day here. Thanks for reading this and hope I can help out soon.

Good to hear from you Keith!
Thanks for your guidance...I spend a bit of time installing and using the
product and looking at the material you referred to in your message so I'm
getting a feel for it now. I'm hoping I can help keep things moving and
look forward to contributing to this effort.
I'm pretty familiar with Palmer...back from the days I went to UMass and
got off at the Palmer/Ware exit.
Best Regards,
Chris

Welcome Chris;
Unfortunately the documentation effort has been stalled for quite a
while now for a number of reasons. Hopefully having a volunteer with
extensive technical writing experience can help jump start this effort.
The original intent was to Redo the 4.X user documentation from scratch
on our MediaWiki site under the ALV2 License. Because of the difference
in License from the OpenOffice.org documentation we can not just update
the older documentation for version 4.
The current version 4 User documentation is linked at
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide there is also a
status document at
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide/Status.
Your thoughts on what can be improved and your contributions to the
documentation as it stands would be greatly appreciated.
I am also in Massachusetts. I live in Palmer, just east of Springfield
in Western MA.
Regards
Keith McKenna
