+  <p>A simple way to help out is by answering user questions. In doing this you will, indirectly, also help developers. Answering user questions takes time. Every question you answer clearly is a question a developer doesn't have to answer. The time taken to answer that question can be used to write code for OpenOffice.org. Furthermore, helping other users is an excellent way to learn a lot about OpenOffice.org yourself. There are two ways you can help other users:</p>
+  <ul>
+  <li>
+    <p><b style="color:#a00">Users mailing list</b><br />
+      The users mailing list is the primary avenue for OpenOffice.org tech support. Information about joining can be found at the <a href="//mail_list.html#general">Mailing lists page</a>.</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <p><b style="color:#a00">Forums</b><br />
+      Another popular support option is the <a href="http://user.services.openoffice.org">OpenOffice.org Community Forum</a>.</p>

+<p>OpenOffice.org is a large and inclusive project. No matter what your
+interests are, there is always a place for you here. Unfortunately, new
+contributors often don't know where to begin.</p>
+<p>The good news is that we have a good <a
+ href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/To-Dos">To-dos list</a>.
+It complements our general <a href="http://development.openoffice.org/">Development
+Category</a>, which lists most of the tools a developer will need to
+get started. Be sure to checkout our <a
+ href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Main_Page">wiki</a>, as
+it has lots of useful information. </p>
+<p> Plus, we are here to help. Send an email to <a
+ href="mailto:dev@openoffice.apache.org">dev@openoffice.apache.org</a> and we'll help
+you get started. The list is friendly and supportive; the people want
+to help. Meanwhile, here are some ideas for you:</p>
+<ol>
+  <li>
+    <p><b style="color: rgb(170, 0, 0);">Get the Sourcecode and start
+building it</b><br>
+The <a href="http://tools.openoffice.org">Tools Projects</a> is
+necessary resource for anyone interested in building and working on
+OpenOffice.org code. How to <a
+ href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Getting_It">get the
+source code</a> and <a
+ href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Building_OpenOffice.org">how
+to build OpenOffice.org</a> and many more details are described on the
+tools pages.</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <p><b style="color: rgb(170, 0, 0);">Review the To-Dos </b><br>
+Our <a href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/To-Dos">to-dos
+page</a> presents the key issues of interest to the core components.
+Recommended for all contributors prior to working on the OpenOffice.org
+code.</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <p><b style="color: rgb(170, 0, 0);">Create an extension</b><br>
+Exensions are easy to write and fun to see in action. With relatively
+little effort, you can add features that millions of others will use.
+Extensions can add new features by using <a
+ href="http://framework.openoffice.org/scripting/scriptingf1/developer-guide.html">
+Java</a>, <a href="http://udk.openoffice.org/python/python-bridge.html">Python</a>,
+    <a href="http://docs-pdf.sun.com/817-1826/817-1826.pdf">StarBasic</a>,
+or <a
+ href="http://framework.openoffice.org/scripting/scriptingf1/developer-guide.html">
+JavaScript.</a> The OpenOffice.org component model is quite extensive
+and can be daunting at first. To help you, there is a comprehensive <a
+ href="http://api.openoffice.org/docs/DevelopersGuide/DevelopersGuide.pdf">
+Developers Guide</a>. Plus, you can get help from <a
+ href="mailto:dev@api.openoffice.org">dev@api.openoffice.org</a>.
+Extensions can be proprietary or open, and they can tie into the depths
+of the code or simply link up to it. It's all up to you. For more
+information, look at our <a
+ href="http://extensions.openoffice.org/">repository</a> and
+our <a
+ href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Extensions_development">developer
+wiki</a> on the subject.</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <p><b style="color: rgb(170, 0, 0);">Fix a bug</b><br>
+In most cases this will require knowing C++ and sometimes Java. Start
+by <a
+ href="http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/project_issues.html">
+finding a bug</a> that itches you. Then contact the <a
+ href="mailto:dev@openoffice.apache.org">development list</a> and we will help
+you fix it.</p>
+  </li>
+  <li><b style="color: rgb(170, 0, 0);">Contribute to a core module </b><br>
+Core components are written in C++. If you know C++ you can start by
+finding the <a href="/projects/accepted.html">
+project or component</a>
+that interests you. Join that project's mailing list and introduce
+yourself. You will probably need to familiarize yourself with the <a
+ href="http://api.openoffice.org/docs/DevelopersGuide/DevelopersGuide.pdf">
+Developers Guide</a>.</li>
+  <li>
+    <p><b style="color: rgb(170, 0, 0);">Use your XML knowledge</b><br>
+OpenOffice.org uses XML for all of its files. XSLT tools are available
+to support non-native XML. If you know XML and XSLT there is much you
+can do here. For instance, you can provide an SVG input transformation
+so OpenOffice.org can open <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/">SVG</a>
+files.</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <p><b style="color: rgb(170, 0, 0);">Spread the file format</b><br>
+The OpenOffice.org file format is just a collection of zipped XML
+files. And the technology generating them is interesting. Take a look
+at our <a href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/To-Dos">ODF
+toolkit project</a> for more information on this. </p>
+  </li>
+</ol>
+<p><a name="sca"></a>Say you just want to send us a <a

+<p>Quality Assurance (QA) is one of the most important but understated elements of any software community project. It is also something most people can do. If you want to help fix OpenOffice.org bugs, and you are not a programmer, you can still help by joining the <a href="http://qa.openoffice.org/">QA team</a>. The goal of the project is to respond to new issues posted by users as soon as possible as well as clear out the backlog of unconfirmed issues that currently resides in the Issue [...]
+  <p>The QA team provides invaluable work for the development of OpenOffice.org. Yet, this is a project where anyone can help, regardless of your skill level or time constraints. Please visit the <a href="http://qa.openoffice.org/"> QA website</a> for more information.</p>
