Mhh yeah, have you read the Coding Guidelines? They are over at
tools.openoffice.org and give some tips about hacking. Furthermore
there is the inofficial Ximian's Hacker's Guide
(http://ooo.ximian.com) but that won't probably fit your needs.

Any contributions are appreciated very much, I just don't know if it
can make it in the Developer's Guide, because that is a Sun official
document and you probably have to at least signed the JCA form (a
license agreement with Sun). But as about documents that can be put up
at the api website I am pretty sure there are no big limitations to
this.
Also if you want to start such a project, it's good to add a task or
enhancement report at IssueZilla for it and you can upload the
revisions of the document there.

Those are my thoughts, thanks.
