For this period of time, and due to the complexity of the code base, you might be interested in something more self-contained, like a "Content Provider" or a data base driver; for example, you can take the idea of a CMIS Content Provider that was part of a Google Summer of Code that wasn't completed; searching the mailing list for the subject CMIS you can find several mails http://markmail.org/search/?q=list%3Aorg.apache.incubator-ooo.dev+subject%3Acmis and the extension skeleton at http://people.apache.org/~arielch/extensions/CMISContentProvider.zip As you'll see, a "Content Provider" can be developed as an extension, there is no need for you to learn nor modify OpenOffice source code.
