You might want to look into some other "resources" that are being 
created as "projects" for LibreOffice.  For me, I am one of the key 
people for the North American Community DVD Project. 
http://libreoffice-na.us/  We have created a DVD distribution that has 
been developed for the needs of the North American community.  There are 
projects dealing with South American and European communities.  Ours 
currently deals with English, but we are slowly working on Spanish and 
French versions.  The key part of these LibreOffice projects are the 
extras beyond the install files.  We have documentation, extensions, 
templates, localized language dictionaries, artwork, and even other 
software packages that may be of use to our user base.  Other projects 
do things that would be useful to their user base.

So, here is the first place to find help for features of LibreOffice.

Next, look into the WIKI pages to find the other places where you can 
find LibreOffice related items.

http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ is a good place to start.

Then look for any regional group of people that are a part of the 
LibreOffice community.  If you live in the UK or Europe [English folk 
dancing reference], you should find some people or group not too far 
away from your region.  If you live in Canada or the USA, you will find 
people there as well that might have some common interests that could 
help with your individual LibreOffice usage.

We are a growing group of people who want to help.  We are going to try 
our best to help anyone who asks.
