Re: [libreoffice-users] query re. volunteering w/ LO

       Thanks for responding;
           I've been attempting to do just that -
              it states I must log-in to the wiki site ... so I attempt to
set-up an account ... each time it states there's some math question with a
blank to fill-in to prove I'm not some robot - but not finding this, I
continue on only to be sent back to the initial log-in page  ???

       HOW does one avoid having to sign-in to this wiki site before being
able to access the LO portion of the site ???

       I've looked all over the page, but cannot locate where this supposed
question/blank is located  ???

       Has no one else been required to log-in to the wiki site first? ...
is this something new they've added? ... is there some help/contact page to
send questions - and where they will respond with an actual answer?
