Helping Users

A simple way to help out is by answering user questions. In doing this you will, indirectly, also help developers. Answering user questions takes time. Every question you answer clearly is a question a developer doesn't have to answer. The time taken to answer that question can be used to write code for OpenOffice.org. Furthermore, helping other users is an excellent way to learn a lot about OpenOffice.org yourself. There are two ways you can help other users:

• Users mailing list
  The users mailing list is the primary avenue for OpenOffice.org tech support. Information about joining can be found at the Mailing lists page.

• Forums
  Another popular support option is the OpenOffice.org Community Forum.
