sorry for the late answer. I missed your mail. Welcome to OpenOffice.
Best way to start with OpenOffice is to learn do your own builds and be persistent. There is no shame in asking questions. Even the experienced devs here have to ask around. You find a general guide here: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO specific guide: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO/Step_by_step How to setup eclipse: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/OpenOffice_and_Eclipse I try to organize tasks on Jira: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?projectKey=OPENOFFICE&rapidView=301 you can of course help to maintain Bugzilla. We get frequent reports, and have to look at old ones if they still are accurate. https://bz.apache.org/ooo/ Also you can try and write hints on bugs can be solved. Maybe a hint where to look can already help that a solution can be found. Or help update the documentation on Programming. We have some stuff here: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Category:Development Hope this gives you enough hints and connects to choose how you contribute to the project. All actions even learning to build is very usefull for us. All the best Peter On 31.12.18 21:58, Gavriel Yadgarov wrote: > Hello, > > My name is Gavriel and I'm a 3rd year student (B.Sc.
