There are links on that wiki page for pdf and odf formats of the same gide, HOWEVER, the content in the wiki pages is IIRC more current then either the pdf or odt file. As for openofficetechnology, they have been around for a good while. I can't comment from personal experience, though I can say I've only ever heard good things about them. I'd be remiss to not mention that Apache OpenOffice is made up of many parts, documentation being one of them, and these all require individuals to help or things simply stagnate. This admin guide is a good example, there is a great opportunity for someone to take the time and update the wiki pages when needed. While at this moment any time donated getting the odt source file in synch with the wiki pages would certainly be huge boost to the project overall.
