If you like to work on the slide show, I bet Thorsten has some ideas
what you could do. But he is on vacation until Monday,
27th. If you like to start with user interface there is still this age
old unusable dialog where you can edit a color.
(Go to menu format->area, then "colors" tab page end then press "Edit"
button to see it). This one needs to be replaced
completely. The hardest part of this task would be to develop a concept
on what what the new dialog should look like.

I'm not familiar with core so far, but I'm interested in user
interface. I've seen that somebody at google-summer-of-code is working
on OpenGL inegration. So generally, the slide show effects and other
graphical features would be fine as well.

Hi Jan,
thanks for your interest in the graphics project. Basicly all you
need to develop for the graphics
project is a good understanding in writing and reading c++ code. Grep
should be your best friend.
But most important is motivation. There are many completly different
areas where you can start,
depending on your interests.
Are you a core guy? Do you like to wade through complex code that
never sees the light of day?
Or maybe you are a user interface guy? You like to implement shiney
new dialogs and wizards?
Maybe you are a filter guy, you like to open up OOo to a world of
brand new formats we never
dared to support before?
If flashy graphics are your thing, maybe you like to work on the
slide show? Maybe as a linux
guy you like to implement the graphical canvas for SomeLinux Version
8 or as a Bill Gates fan boy
you like to add visual miracles by supporting bleeding edge Direct X
10.1 effects!
So best way to be successful is to be motivated, tell us what your
would love to do and we
will see to get you on speed with it.
By the way, if you love to contribute to OOo why not getting paid for
it? If you are willing
to relocate to Hamburg/Germany you should contact me at my email
address.
Regards,
Christian

Hi,
I'd like to start contributing and fixing issues in OOo graphics.
I've been working on OOo for a half a year, making some patches and
doing a easy stuff more or less.
But now, I want to help with some issues my self but don't know
where to start. I know some basics of OOo API but I'm still not sure
if it is enough for graphics? What should I do to understand
principles of graphics development to be able to fix issues in
issuezilla?
Thank you for any help.
Regards,
Jan Navratil
