Michael: That all sounds do-able. Half of Berkeley was without power today so I'll give it a go tomorrow between classes. Thanks for throwing something my way!

Actually it is one of the hacks that we have planned for the Dutch hackers event on next Thursday. See http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/marketing/msg02698.html If it turns out that we do something different, you'll know it in a few days. Is that OK? Kind regards, Cor Also, is this easyhack still relevant from a UI perspective? I plan to stick to simple easyhacks/simple bugs until I get a better feel for how everything works.

[Libreoffice] EasyHack: Ruler/Notes toggling
Hi: I'm new to hacking LibreOffice and would like to implement the Notes (comments) toggling easyhack. Before I begin working on it, is anyone else currently working on this? I don't want to duplicate effort. Also, is this easyhack still relevant from a UI perspective? I plan to stick to simple easyhacks/simple bugs until I get a better feel for how everything works.
