Welcome to the AOO Documentation team. First of all let me apologize for
taking so long to reply. Things have been very hectic in my personal
life the last month or so.

Currently the major thrust has been to get the introductory materials
and the Writer Guide Finished on
the M-wiki at https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide.
We also have a status page at
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide/Status which
shows a broad overview of what still needs to be done.

The AOO context sensitive help is a somewhat convoluted process. I will
have to dig into the materials that I have to point you to further
information.

Feel free to jump in look around and work on anything that you think
could use some help. This mailing list is the main means of
communication for the team so please if you have any questions feel free
to ask and given your experience any insights that you may have are most
welcome.

Regards
Keith
