Yes, that list needs to be awakned :-(I replied to Shachar's mail on Hamakor's list, but I hope people won't hate me too much for repeating here what I had to say, because I see the discussion here is much more "lively".
But that's precisely the problem with OpenOffice - to do almost anything with it, you have to compile the whole !*$(@!# thing (excuse my french). At that meeting I tried to ask Motti to push torwards a saner build environment, and his reaction showed his skeptism of this ever happening.While this may be true, and the idea you raised is welcome, I'd like to remind you and everyone that helping a big project doesn't necessarily require compiling that big project.
That is a problem with OpenOffice, and a problem I don't think anyone will be able to do anything about. What wer'e doing here is merely trying to work around this problem.
Yonatan mentioned something about commiting to schedules as a prerequisit. I think that would not be the right path to go down. I think we should let anyone who is interested in hacking OpenOffice do so, and trust the opensource model to bring us good results without commitment.
