Hey, thank you :) So now I subscribe to the dev mailing list and figured out how to build OpenOffice on my computer. If I want to work on a bug or a new feature, I suppose to go to https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/OPENOFFICE/issues/OPENOFFICE-76?filter=allopenissues see what's open and just work on it? or do I need to comment there/send an email to d...@openoffice.apache.org?
Thank you, Idan Kashtan.
