Hi Nadeem, What I have been working on for a while now is updating the user guides. The old guides are available at [1]. Keith has set up a Git repository [2] where a branch is dedicated to each guide. I forked that repository [3] and I have done initial revisions of the Getting Started guide and the Writer guide. I am slowly working my way through the Calc guide and I am about half done with that. As far as I know, only the first three chapters of the Getting Started guide (A0041GS1.odt - A0041GS3.odt) have been reviewed by anyone else. If you are willing to jump into reviewing the other chapters, there is plenty to do. Each guide is a few hundred pages and each chapter is typically 20 - 40 pages. The documentation process was dormant for quite a while and Keith has been trying hard to revive it. We have just recently started to use Git and we may well have to change the process as we learn how to work with it. Are you familiar with Git? We only use the most basic features. If you are interested in helping with the guides, I can tell you more about the workflow we have been using. If that isn't the kind of thing you were looking for, I am sure we can find something else. I would like to give Keith a chance to participate in this conversation. He has more experience with the broader documentation process than I do.
