Hi Andrea,
I have already started my journey and contributed two patches thus far,
and I am now familiar with the process of executing a compatible build after
modifying some code. I was thinking of working on updating the spreadsheet
formulas with the BITAND and BITOR functions, but I can certainly put that on
the back burner for the Base issue.
I have a build of Open Office where I am able to reproduce the bug
where creating a table in design mode does not work, and it does not respond to
a click. I will get to looking at this issue now.
I use Writer the most, followed closely by Impress. I would prefer working on
issues that involve C++ code, since that is one of the main knowledge points I
want to gain.
Thanks
Jatin
