Development/Simplifying entry for new developers
From Apache OpenOffice Wiki
Purpose of this initiative
This is an initiative initially created by Per Eriksson aiming to make it easier for new developers to start to contribute to the project.
It identifies several issues which together might make contributing harder for interested developers.

Possible issues
These are the possible problems identified:
- The page has a strange introduction, that begins with a to do list. Maybe the user already has an idea of what he would like to do.
- The page tells the user to start building the code. The programmer should learn what it is like to develop in the community first.
