Hi Dennis, Danny, funked,
Many thanks to Dennis for your suggestions, and for
responding to
Danny's and funked's queries (unfortunately, I've been
swamped with
other work, so I missed to respond earlier; sorry).
Indeed, the below suggestions can be good starting points to
get
familiar with the UCB project and its components.
In addition, there is also a (short) list of suggested
ToDo's for the
UCB project on the ToDo's web page
(http://de
velopment.openoffice.org/todo.html). The UCB-ToDo's are
most
probably better suited for more experienced developers, but
experience
can always be built while dealing with a problem.
Recently, particular interest arose in the area of the
(still
experimental) ODMA content provider. So, the respective ToDo
(make it
usable) might be an area where efforts are most valued.
Hope this helps, and thank you all for your interest,
Matthias
