[openlp-dev] Small Jobs for New Contributors

[Olli Suutari]

Hello Lane!

I believe nobody has yet started working on the manual.
Glad to hear you are willing to help with this.

I found this guide about documentation:
http://wiki.openlp.org/Documentation:Getting_Started

It's a bit complicated, but If you need help with getting started,
I'm sure people are willing to help on IRC.
