Hi, this is very good news!
The best way to start right now is to help with the final steps for the
4.1.2 release. This will allow you to get familiar with Bugzilla, the
tool that all developers use to share patches and track progress. So you
will be able to see patches and gradually do more with the code.
First, take a look at
http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-qa.html just to have a
generic introduction. Then, register for a Bugzilla account as
instructed in that page.
And then you should:
1) Download and use the development version 4.1.2-RC2, available from
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/openoffice/ ; currently, the
English version for Windows is at
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/openoffice/4.1.2-rc2-r1707648/binaries/en-US/Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.2_Win_x86_install_en-US.exe
2) Use the following link to find a list of issues to be checked:
http://s.apache.org/KL1
The aim of QA is to bring issues from RESOLVED state to VERIFIED. To do
that, you can just add a comment in each issue that is not already
VERIFIED or CLOSED and state if it works for you or not. Some are quite
easy, so I would recommend that you quickly scan what needs to be done
and start from the easy ones.
A comment is enough for the being, but you can then get permission to
flag issues as CLOSED or VERIFIED yourself by asking on this list.
Regards,
Andrea.
