If you need ideas on what to work on: * You could take care of the project to produce a refreshed version of the default icon set. The person who was working on this left. The project is on https://github.com/libodesign/tango-testing . I was thinking the first step could be finishing up the shape icons, as those are relatively simple to make. If you'd like to work on this, write back and I'll give you the details and add you to the repository. * You could make a whiteboard for Writer-only options similar to our Global options one [1]. This task involves simply listing the options and what they do -- basically a copy and paste job from the online help pages [2]. We'll use it to determine which options are needed and which are not, and after we analyze all the options, we'll work on redesigning the Options dialog. * You can add a proposal to one of the whiteboards under "Call for proposals" at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboards. We then look at all the proposals and talk about what would work best. Any progress is appreciated, you don't have to do the whole thing, we're willing to help. :) If you decide you want to take a look at the code, check out Easy Hacks: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Easy_Hacks > I also saw you hold IRC meetings, so I'm subscribing to the mailing list to > see when the next one is planned. > We hold one weekly.
