 <p>One of the best ways to contribute to OpenOffice.org is to write tutorials, guides, HOWTOs and FAQs. In so doing, you will be helping thousands of users. There are many ways you can help, everyone is welcome. And no matter your level of experience, there is a place here for you.</p>
 <p>Here are some ideas for contribution:</p>
 <ul>
   <li>
     <p><b style="color:#a00">User FAQs</b><br />
       The User FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) are an excellent place to start contributing to OpenOffice.org. If you'd like to help, send an email to<a href="mailto:dev@documentation.openoffice.org"> this address</a> and introduce yourself.</p>
   </li>
   <li>
     <p><b style="color:#a00">HOW-Tos and Tutorials</b><br />
       These are short, self-contained documents, and a great place to get started. If there is a particular feature you enjoy, this is the place for you. Send an email to<a href="mailto:dev@documentation.openoffice.org"> this address</a> and tell us what you are interested in. Need ideas? Check out the <a href="//issues/buglist.cgi?issue_type=TASK&component=documentation&issue_status=UNCONFIRMED&issue_status=NEW&issue_status=STARTED&issue_status=REOPENED">Task List</a> maintained the by <a href="http://documentation.openoffice.org">Documentation Project</a>.</p>
   </li>
   <li>
     <p><b style="color:#a00">User Guide</b><br />

   </li>
   <li>
     <p><b style="color:#a00">Development Primer</b><br />

If you know something about programming for OpenOffice.org, please send an email to<a href="mailto:authors@user-faq.openoffice.org"> this address</a> and introduce yourself.</p>
   </li>
   <li>
