Hi Peter, All of them are very interesting, actually I have C++ experience on Qt and OOXML/ODF filter development. Currently, I am reading about javascript because I want to know more about web technologies and working on a web-based application looks a developer challenge task for me. And by the other side, working on C is less attractive. So, my first choice is definitely web-based but I will be glad to work a little on the ODF filter design, in which I can provide very good feedbacks because of my previous experience dealing with it. Regarding to the limited documentation, with the dev-list responses I was able to get the code and build and debug on Windows following Gabriella and Jan instructions (Thank you) for git and external batch. I did have a look at the code and current functionality of the dfutil and dfconvert. And I have some technical and architecture questions about how web application interfaces with DocFormat library. Is this list the right place to discuss or brainstorm ideas? Thanks, Juande
