Great! Welcome! > so can someone give me some pointers where should I start, Look at the "normal" information on how to start contributing to LibreOffice in our wiki, follow the same rough scenario: - Talk to us on our IRC channel. - Clone the anongit repository (if necessary use the provided pre-loaded tarball snapshot of such a clone, it's often faster than cloning from anongit). - Download build dependencies, if any. - Learn how to build LibreOffice for your desktop platform (Linux or MacOSX, presumably; cross-compiling from Windows is not recommended and certainly has never been tested). - Then familiarise yourself with what has been done for Android cross-compilation, read http://www.iki.fi/tml/libocon2011-xcompiling.pdf and the README.cross file, try out configuring such a cross-build, run a make, see what happens, - Start experimenting with adding a Java main program on top, etc. > who should I contact, what do I need to join the team... I don't think we have any official team "membership" criteria; If you submit good patches to this mailing list they will be accepted and pushed, and eventually then if you want to, you will get direct push access to our code repository, and as long as you keep working on LO you can consider yourself a team member;) Now, obviously for something new like an Android port where tons of stuff has not been designed much at all yes, there needs to be lots of discussion on this mailing list about what to do, actually, both technical details and what the end result(s) should be... --tml _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
