Yes, you´re welcome of course.
Note: I am also sending this reply to you directly and not only to the
mailinglist as you seem to not be subscribed to the list. You might get
other replies which have been only sent to the list. Either subscribe to
the list or have a look at the archive at
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/SummarizeList?listName=dev to see
such other replies.
Usually developers joining new first start by commiting code for
bugfixes or small new features via patches to issues in issuezilla (
http://www.openoffice.org/project/qa/issue_handling/pre_submission.html
) OpenOffice.org´s bug and task tracking system and later on they get
further involved and get own CVS
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_Versions_System) commit rights
themselfs and than would be creating their own so called ChildWorkspaces
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/CWS) for code contributions a
mechanism used in many OpenOffice.org subprojects with which new code is
being integrated.
Please have a look at the following page to get started with OOo
development:
htp://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Main_Page#Getting_started_with_OOo_development
General information about contributing to OpenOffice.org can be found on

Please note that you need to sign the Joint Copyright Assignment in
order to contribute code. For information about signing the JCA have a

OpenOffice.org consists of several subprojects, have a look at the
subproject webpages linked from
http://projects.openoffice.org/index.html and corresponding mailing
lists to find a subproject in which you might be interested to join.
Source Code of OpenOffice.org is mainly C++ source code but there´s also
some java code being used, eg. the Base module relies on java and there
is also a java lanuage binding for the OpenOffice.org API. The page
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Java_and_OpenOffice.org
explains for which features of OOo java is being used.
One java related subproject where I am also involved a bit currently is
the odf4j library which is being created in the odftoolkit subproject
See http://odftoolkit.openoffice.org and corresponding mailing list.
The aim of odf4j is to create a java library for creating and
manipulating OpenDocument files ( the fileformat OpenOffice.org uses )
from java applications without the need to install an complete
OpenOffice.org installation. Maybe this could be something you would
like to help with. odf4j and the odftoolkit project are just in it´s
very beginning and currently do not yet use the ChildWorkspace mechanism
to integrate new source code which is used by other subprojects and thus
this project might be a bit easier for a new OOo java developer to
start with. If you would like to join this sub-project subscribe to it´s
mailing list.
For instructions on how to get source code and on how to build
OpenOffice.org have a look at pages linked from
http://tools.openoffice.org
Another possibility to contribute is to create extensions for
OpenOffice.org for which related utilities like the Netbeans or Eclipse
OOo-Development plugins can be used.
Have a look at
http://extensions.openoffice.org/
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Extensions
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Extensions_development
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/
Note that the OpenOffice.org website may currently be a little bit slow
or even unresponsive caused by heavy traffic due to the new version just
released.
There is also an IRC chat channel #dev.openoffice.org on the IRC server
irc.freenode.net where OpenOffice.org developers meet and discuss things
online.
