The specific project I was thinking about seems to be lacking in the needed mix of mentors at the moment. We do have a listing of "easy" and "simple" hacks from our development orientation page: http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-development.html Feel free to take a look at these, and get involved by fixing some of these issues if you like. We have quite a number of Ubuntu builders who can answer questions on this list. Good luck with your open source project. > > > > On Mon, Sep 1, 2014 at 10:43 PM, Kay Schenk <kay.sch...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> On Fri, Aug 29, 2014 at 1:19 AM, Deborah Digges < >> deborah.gertrude.dig...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> Hello, >>> >>> I am a *4th year* Computer Science student.
