Good idea. I can't think of anything to add to the list at this time.
I'll consider what the description should be for a documentation-specific
pamphlet (and maybe some of the others). I speak at technical writers'
conferences and could use a recruiting pamphlet that takes a "what's in it
for me if I volunteer to help write/edit/index documentation?" approach for
potential volunteers; another approach, not necessarily in the same
pamphlet, would be "what can LO do for me as a technical writer?"
