Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: [libreoffice-documentation] German Base-Handbuch 4.1 ready

Hi :)
> From the main website
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/documenters/
just join their mailing list and give a brief sentence or couple of paragraphs like you did just 
there.  


Let them know you need "a login for ODFAuthors" although they usually figure that out just when you 
say you want to get involved.  


they do have some wiki-pages to try to help you work out what you are doing but it's easier to 
start by saying hi to their mailing list and take it from there.  They keep trying to smooth those 
wiki-pages but it's still not always clear because they focus more on the work itself.  

Regards from 

Tom :)
