There are two people working on a manual for base at ODFAuthors.  The 
problem is that it is a slow process as almost everything has to be 
rewritten.  If anyone wants to help with it go to 
http://www.odfauthors.org/ and signup.  Join the mailing list and offer 
to help.  Writers and copy editors are needed and gladly welcomed.
