Since no one else has stepped up, I'll take a stab at it.  I just installed Open Office on one of my systems and as long as I can ask questions when needed I'll do my best.

Wayne,



Good luck with the consulting, hopefully it pays better that working on 

Kicad.



The extra detail in the document is harmless, and probably serves C++ 

and why and how it should be used over C in an application like Kicad.



It also speaks consistently about style with respect to the style 

embedded in uncrustify.cfg file.



Thanks for at least letting us know you are un-volunteering on it. We 

will not wait for you now.



Mostly we need someone that:



1) knows C++,

2) knows OpenOffice Writer,

3) knows English well



to step up. They are listed in order of importance, with 3) being the 

most important. The result could be a *.odt file that we occasionally 

export to *.pdf and put on the wiki. It is now about a 15 page document 

if I recall, and it needs some formatting mostly. It was imported from 

WordPerfect and not so nicely at that, and seriously modified since then.



Thanks,



Dick
