<h2 id="finding-easy-tasks">Finding Easy Tasks</h2>
<p>As a new developer you will want to find some easy coding tasks. These are
tasks that generally can be done with good C++ skills, but do not require
comprehensive knowledge of how
OpenOffice is put together. The tasks are more localized. By doing easy
tasks you gain experience and confidence hacking with the code base.</p>
<p>We use a <a href="https://issues.apache.org/ooo/";>Bugzilla issue
tracker</a> to track reported defects in OpenOffice. Some of us also use
Bugzilla for tracking feature and enhancement tasks as well. The value of
tracking
-all coding-related tasks in Bugzilla is that it helps our QA volunteer know
which areas to test. Whether code was changed to fix a bug or enhance a
feature -- the QA impact is pretty
+all coding-related tasks in Bugzilla is that it helps our QA volunteers know
which areas to test. Whether code was changed to fix a bug or enhance a

much the same.</p>
<p>If you have not done so already, please <a
href="https://issues.apache.org/ooo/createaccount.cgi";>sign up for a Bugzilla
account</a>. This will allow you to enter new bugs or tasks, but also
assign yourself existing ones.</p>
<p>Many tasks are classified in the "difficulty" field. The ones classified
as "easy" or "simple" (one level harder than "easy") are good ones to start
with. You can find these with the
