In fact, I am in the beginning of writing a book covering using open
source office software (open office, KDE, GNOME Office, etc.). The book
focuses on using office applications from an end-users
(secretaries, students, etc.) perspective, not from the administration
point-of-view.

The co-writer is writer who freelancers for a variety of online and print
publications, including Linux Journal. (I believe the book should be
finished around February. If anyone wants to help review or wants to talk
me about it, reply off-list.)
