Marty,

Another welcome!

This is a great suggestion by Regina. If you would like to work on the wiki
to add these function descriptions, and possibly some examples of their
use, the descriptions of what they do is available from the OASIS site:

docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-part2.html

The list of functions on the wiki can be found at:

Hi Marty,

you are welcome.

Your mail has been moderated, so I put you in CC. Please subscribe to 
the list to not miss any answers.

We have collected some newcomer information in 
https://openoffice.apache.org/get-involved.html

If you want to start immediately, here a suggestion: The upcoming 
release of AOO4.0 has the new functions AVERAGEIFS, COUNTIFS, SUMIFS, 
XOR. As you can see here
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Calc:_Functions_listed_alphabetically
the descriptions are missing.

If you do not have already a Wiki account, you should create one. As far 
as I know, there is some time to wait, until you can write, because of 
blocking spam. If it doesn't work for you, ask on this list.

In the bundled help the texts are missing too. But therefore you have to 
directly work on the code. Do you want to work in that area?

Besides that, there is special list for documentation. Please subscribe 
there too.

Kind regards
Regina
