... how could I contribute anything useful?

- By giving constructive feedback
- By asking questions
- By helping with translation
- By helping with testing
- By helping with documentation
- By helping with marketing and promotion
- By setting up a test environment, installing old version OOo 3.x or AOO 3.4.x, upgrading to AOO 4.0 and reporting success or failure
- By taking responsibility for certain management tasks

I do not even understand my own extension anymore that I wrote 6 years
ago. I do understand my own code but not the complicated XML
configuration. The only thing I know for sure is that most of this
extension used to run with any version from 1.4.x until 3.x.

How could I test anything if I do not have any access to version 4? Am I
supposed to compile it from source code or what?

By taking the stuff the community is providing - build bot results and developer snapshots. These are installation sets that anybody of the community can install easily.

Building it from source is also a good option.


Best regards, Oliver.
