Hi! I have emailed dev-subscribe to subscribe to the Apache Open Office
Mailing List with the same information that follows:
I am a Computer Science student at the University of Notre Dame. I have a
year experience in C++ and am now in a Data Structures course, where we
have a final project that includes becoming familiar with and adding or
editing a feature (data structure related) of an open source project.
We are working in groups of two. My partner for this project and I are
wondering if there is an opportunity in the Apache Open Office community
where you need a data structure added or edited in your project. We have 3
months to work on this project. Please let us know if you have any options!
Apache OpenOffice is huge, with a history of about 15 years. Therefore a
new data structure is only added, if it provides an advantage or is
really needed. If you will improve existing data structures, then we are
likely find an area for you.
For example, AOO has several classes for handling strings. Some are
oldish. You can examine the existing solutions, find there problems and
make suggestions to consolidate the classes.
Or you look at a special missing feature, svg gradients for filling of
draw objects for example, and make proposals about necessary changes in
the model.
Another area dealing with structures are the import and export filter.
Documents are stored in special file formats, proprietary or open
standards, and need to be converted to the internal structures. There
are missing features in this area too.
On important aspect is, whether you need to deliver a patch, that will
be integrated in the source, to satisfy the course requirements.
Will you spent your whole time on this project, or do you have other
tasks or courses parallel?
Kind regards
Regina
