Be a part of it! - The OpenOffice.org Website Project
I thought I start a little series of blog entries about different OpenOffice.org projects. By doing so, I hope to get the projects some additional visibility and to recruit some additional contributors. It is not necessary to be a C++ or Java guru in order to contribute to the project. A good example is the OpenOffice.org Website Project.

Today I received an email from a member of the website project who had reviewed the OpenOffice.org 2.0 features list that I created a few weeks ago. The "only" thing this person had done was reading my web page and writing down spelling and grammar errors that nobody else had caught, yet. I just implemented the suggested changes and I can say that the quality of the web page has definitely improved. BTW, probably I should ask the same person to review this blog!? ;-)

This example shows that people with good language knowledge/skills can be of great help and can contribute to the OpenOffice.org project. This is just one example of how someone can contribute to the project even without software development skills. The website project is also always in need of people with solid HTML, design and scripting knowledge.

Oh, I forgot to mention the names of the web page reviewer. Peter Blitcher noted the problems, and they were forwarded to me via Akshay Dayal and Louis Suarez-Potts.
