Hi :) We have a few new people that have started recently so its a good time to ask "stupid questions" on this mailing list because it's likely to help others too.
Some of the wikis about how to get started might still be a bit confusing so if you have suggestions then let us know or just make the changes to see if they do help, but again let us know if you want people to check how it all looks. We have put quite some effort into making them right but they could probably still use a little work. The main focus is usually on documentation for LO Office users rather than for ourselves. So welcome to all and regards from Tom :) >________________________________ > From: Jean Weber <[email protected]> >To: Shannon Johnson <[email protected]> >Cc: "[email protected]" ><[email protected]> >Sent: Sunday, 12 May 2013, 6:49 >Subject: Re: [libreoffice-documentation] New volunteer for documentation > > >Welcome! >A good place to start is by reading some of the material linked from >this wiki page: >https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development > >I have created an account for you at odfauthors.org, where we do much >of our work.
