<p>As a new developer you will want to find some easy coding tasks. These are
tasks that generally can be done with good C++ skills, but do not require
comprehensive knowledge of how
OpenOffice is put together. The tasks are more localized. By doing easy
tasks you gain experience and confidence hacking with the code base.</p>
