I want to be an OpenOffice.org developer

Welcome to OpenOffice.org! :-)

You are at the start of a long, but very exciting journey! There are many ways to get started, but the easiest one is to:

• build your own OpenOffice.org so that you are able to modify things
• pick up your favorite bug/annoyance, and try to fix that
• when you see that hacking OOo pleases you, it's time to look for bigger tasks; there's eg. a nice list of ideas originally planned for GSoC

More info about developing OOo is here:

• Participating in OpenOffice.org - Programming
• Getting started with OOo development
• OpenOffice.org for Developers

If you don't find the instructions in the Wiki good enough to guide you, feel free to ask on the dev@openoffice.org mailing list. If you are interested in some aspect that is not covered, ask the mailing list as well :-) - we'll guide you where to find people who will be able to answer your questions.

We are looking forward to your contribution!
