Hi, we had another person promising to help out in this area, so we need to make sure that you two not work on the same pieces concurrently. I'd suggest you get started a bit and then we hook you up with the other Guy so you can discuss and split the work accordingly.
---- Dustin, the author of some of the Visio functionality, recently updated a few things already, but there is surely a big need for more description and guides for users to make it easier to get started. All the documentation pages live in Subversion at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/poi/site/, the latest Apache POI code is at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/poi/site/, it pulls in the docs via an SVN external link. When changes are checked in, they are immediately published to http://poi.apache.org/ <http://poi.apache.org/howtobuild.html> You probably can start by trying to get the docs built as described at http://poi.apache.org/howtobuild.html by installing Apache Forrest in the specified version. With this you can build the documentation pages locally and take a look before submitting them. You likely need to take a look at the available classes/code a bit and what functionality they provide. One thing that usually helps developers most is a "Quick Guide" which provides ready-made samples of how to do things with the library, see e.g. http://poi.apache.org/spreadsheet/quick-guide.html for something like this for the Excel format support. I suggest you take a look around a bit and then get back to us with any questions/hurdles that you ran into so we can get you going quickly! Thanks...
