One of the biggest problems facing AOO is getting new developers up to
speed.
As I understand it, there is a small group of developers who do
understand AOO, but do not have anywhere near enough time to do
everything that needs doing. Meanwhile, you have newcomers with various
levels of experience who would like to help, but don't know where to start.
Even for someone like me who has previously worked on large programs, up
to and including operating systems, AOO is a formidable body of code. I
have started trying to study the profile system, since it seems to be a
problem area, but even that narrow focus includes a lot of code, and not
many comments.
I suggest forming small teams to work on specific projects. Each team
should include one of the AOO-experienced developers, and one or more
newcomers. As newcomers learn one or more areas of AOO they should be
able to themselves serve as a team expert, getting more developers
productive.
Any AOO expert need an assistant to work, with some direction, on a project?
