Hi all, I'm just getting into the OOo project and it seemed like a well defined task and since it was listed on the front page, I thought it was probably something that had been asked for quite a bit. I'd like to take a cut at the embedding of SVG files in OOo documents. I have a C++ background also. It'll be an interesting jump into the fray.

So I confused things a but and it was Kai Ahrens who had planned that. Sorry for the confusion. I think going for the document filter is a pity. I think we need a graphics filter much more than a document filter as people want to use SVG in the gallery. Or do you plan to extend the gallery to be able to contain drawing documents that will be inserted as OLE objects?
