your question about suitable places to break into the project is not so
easy to be answered. Let me see what we need:

- some examples, a webpage, for instance, where you could write some
lines. Fill in some meta data forms and we make a odt out of it.

- the manifest class has some missing functionality, which should be
'easiely' added by some one...

- an extension to add thumbnails (or something like thumbnails) to the
od-archive  would be nice, but seems not so important.

- currently we are working on the text (and more or less on the
spreadsheet) part of a OpenDocument. The *:number format stuff is needed
by both parts in a way. This could be a good staring point for some new
classes.

- the possibility to add math formula (as text or as chart formula) is
another good point to start. Maybe something with MathML...

- Last but not least: Refaktoring! Refaktoring!  Refaktoring!

I hope I could help a little. More about this next week.

Yours,

Norman

BTW: Currently only Alex, Andreas and me do have write access to the svn!
Are there any others who wants to join us?
