Re: [libreoffice-users] news about LibreOffice

Hi :)
Being wiki-pages means it's possible for anyone to contribute.  I like the
variety of having some "articles" quite long but others being just really
tiny snippets.

So far it's all the work of just 1 chap but i am sure he would be willing
to help people with wiki-mark-up if they did join in with things.  Also
there are other people here and on the Documentation Team's mailing list
who would be able to help.  Another option is for people to quietly post
their items and then leave it for the main man to find them and do some
styling.

Regards from
Tom :)
