Re: Academic Proposal

[Marco A.G.Pinto]

Hello Pedro, What Alexandro was telling about is the tool "Proofing Tool GUI". I have released a V3.0 beta the other week which is now ultra-fast on dictionaries, but I still need to do the same with the other parts of the code... it is a complex task to replace the "easy" code with more complex one. You can find the tool here: http://marcoagpinto.cidadevirtual.pt/proofingtoolgui.html I have been using it for en_GB both for Mozilla and Apache OpenOffice.

I think is a good first step since he already know the ropes of the project. If you need more information regarding the process of contribution I suggest to read "the apache way" and also some of the introductory modules.

The expected outcomes are: Analyst – Requirement document; Programmer – Code; Tester – Bug report. Among a list of choices, we were given, we chose the http://www.openoffice.org/ community to collaborate with. Our teacher Luis Barbosa (l...@di.uminho.pt) is participating in the project “A Pilot Project on Non-Conventional Learning” with the collaboration of Sara Fernandes (sara.fernan...@iist.unu.edu) from de United Nations University – IIST. Myself and my colleague, already concluded a Master's degree in Computer Science from the Faculty of Science of Porto University - Portugal. We have experience with: C, C++, Java, _javascript_, Prolog, Haskell, SQL, PHP, CSS, HTML. We are hoping we could collaborate and help the openoffice community with QA, translation, graphic design or programming tasks, maybe 3-4 hours a week. We would like to know if you are willing to cooperate with us and if you could recommend any appropriate tasks for us to work on? We await your reply. Best reguards, Pedro --
