Thanks.
We rather need someone clueful to tackle
the problem of the flat ODF / XML export - if you're interested ?

Well, I would describe myself as a good C++ programmer, and I'm sure
Java is easy enough to read. I don't really know anything about XSLT or
XML in general though. Still, excuses to get rid of Java are always nice.
Or are you interested in a particular area / component we can help you
get stuck into ? :-)
I'm reasonably handy with gtk, though via the python bindings which hide
all the memory management, and a lot of the type conversion from you, so
dunno how well I'll get on in C.
The XML export thing sounds like a good idea to at least look into.
Otherwise, maybe some more gtk/gnome integration stuff.
Sadly all the bugs that really wind me up are most likely deep-seated
and beyond my ability to fix (focus issues, not-quite-native-appearance,
import bugs especially from powerpoint).
Be warned: I'm a student, doing this for fun in the evenings, so
progress might be slow. Though I was amazed to find a (semi)useful task
that only took about an hour to understand and do.

PS - is there a git commit notification list I can subscribe to? The git
web interface is a royal pain to navigate.
