Yes, the first step on this is definitely a feasibility and performance study. I would start by making the existing AOO string class a wrapper around an STL string. That way, we could experiment with only local changes, not finding and changing every place that does string manipulation.

I could not find a Issue for that. So I opened a bug[1].

But honestly I think this is might be quite a challenge. I am not sure
if the UTF-implementation is affected by this task.

According to FOSDEM talk from the last years it has some very suboptimal
coding decisions. If that is affected, it might have some affect on our API.

We should investigate this first and make a plan.

Another project to consider after this is replacing AOO's own string
implementation with the standard template library string.

Awesome!

Okay, next Step. Let me see if I have some Ideas.

How about this one here:

https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=118788

It is about tweaking a LibreOffice patch to our code. The patch is dual
licensed so we can use this. Which is awesome.

It may be a good low hanging fruit to grapple for you. Or a bad one, but
then we know it hangs higher. :P


All the best

Hi everyone,
I successfully build the open-office on my system.Now I am looking
forward
to where I can start contributing to the project. I have 2 year
programming
experience in c++ mainly functional programming.
So if there any guide available there it would be appreciated.

Thanks.
