Writer Guide v3.4 published
The full compiled Writer Guide v3.4 has been published to the documentation wiki (ODT, PDF).
Tomorrow I’ll publish the printed version, if Lulu.com cooperates. Will post again when that’s done.
A few of the chapter files on the wiki differ in minor ways from the chapters in the full book. When I get a chance, I will be revising and replacing the chapter files to match the book.
Huge thanks to everyone on the LibreOffice Documentation Team who helped get this book done.

The active user docs team is small but awesome. We could use a few more volunteers: people who can do good work with little supervision, once we help you get started.
