Hi Jeff, the first step is to do an OpenOffice.org build. We recently updated the documentation for that: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide If you have any issues with the docs, please drop us a note. After successfully building OOo, find an area of interest and dig into the code (OOo is huge). Find some open issue in bugzie: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/ and fix it. In the beginning you might want to just submit a patch: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Contributing_Patches Later, you might want to use your own child workspace aka cws (basically your own feature branch). We will help you along, when you are at that point. ;-) see also: http://contributing.openoffice.org/programming.html Have Fun, Bjoern P.S.: Also, there is the Dev Guide: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/OpenOffice.org_Developers_Guide Explaining the whole OOo framework and how stuff is intended to be used. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
