As a general point, what sort of developers are you targetting? The kind of thing that might encourage an experience C++ developer to work on openoffice rather than, I don't know, mozilla, is surely very different to the kind of thing that might encourage a scientist to write a small useful calc add-on in python. I'm sure we should encourage both, but it might help the quality of sbmissions of people know what to aim at. -- Andrew Brown The email in the header does not work.
