Welcome then! - A lot of users would certainly like to see progress on
those!

In general, the best documentation you'll find is the source code itself
 :-\ So, to start, you should definitely have a working OOo build
environment, and a good debugger :)


In addition to what Ocke said, I added some more information for
starting those projects to the Wiki. See
I though the best place for this information is to be in the wiki, so I
extended the respective project descriptions.
See
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Base_To-Do/Joins_in_dBase_queries
and
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Base_To-Do/SQL_Syntax_Highlighting
 for some initial thoughts on this.


Also note that after I roughly sketched the syntax highlighting
implementation, I had to adjust the estimated effort, the original 2
weeks sounded too optimistic to me.


So, if you or your students want to embark on any of those projects, I
suggest you
- get a build/debug environment running
- poke in the code I pointed to in the Wiki, to see whether all this is
  complete nonsense to you, or whether you can make sense of it
- sketch an implementation
- carry this sketch to the final feature, accompanied all the way long

Ciao
