Greeting Daniel;

For the present book type documentation such as User Guides are being 
done at ODFAuthors. We are currently in need of people to help in 
reviewing and editing the Getting Started Guide for AOO 3.4 and possibly 
writing Guides for the individual applications. For more information go 
to: 
http://www.odfauthors.org/apache-openoffice/english/welcome-to-odfauthors and 
read the info there. At the bottom of that page are links to other 
information; I strongly reccomend the Introducing ODFAuthors link. There 
you will find info on joining the ODFAuthors mailing list and 
registering for an account on the web site. The ODFAuthors website 
account and mailing list are must haves as source documentation and 
revision control are done on the site and the list is for communication 
amongst all of the participants. Subscribing to this mailing list is 
highly recommended also to keep up with all aspects of the project. You 
can subscribe by sending a blank email to: 
ooo-dev-subscribe@incubator.apache.org and following the directions in 
the return email.

I this is not the type of documentation that you are interested in doing 
there are other avenues. I you have any other questions please do not 
hesitate to ask here.

I look forward to your participation both here and at ODFAuthors.

Keith N. McKenna
