Hello and welcome to the Apache OpenOffice project!
We have some reading material to help new volunteers understand the
project and how it works.
You can start here: http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/
If you are new to open source projects then you should review the
level 1 modules. Then read over the Intro to QA module:
http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-qa.html
There are some important steps on that page, like subscribing to
mailing lists, signing up for a Bugzilla account, etc., that you will
need to do.
If you have any questions, post them to the list and I or another
volunteer will be happy to respond. And once you've completed the
orientation modules we can talk about what testing is currently going
on and how you can help.
Regards,
-Rob

It might help to add some more introduction in the BVT page, like:
1. What is a BVT, how is it used and why it is important
2. What prerequisite are needed to run the BVT? For example, you need
a test machine, a good internet connection and command-line skills.
3. What do you do after you run the BVT? How to you categorize the
defects in Bugzilla.
Remember, a new person posting for the first time on this mailing list
doesn't even have a Bugzilla account set up yet. They might not even
be subscribed to the mailing list. So just pointing them to the BVT
page will probably not work. It will only confuse them. I'd
recommend start by asking more questions: What kind of experience do
you have with OpenOffice? With quality assurance? With Java
programming? What operating systems can you test with? Depending on
their skill set and interest the new volunteer might be a good
candidate for running the BVT. But I don't think we can assume that
this is a good match for everyone.
