I was thinking of starting some open source projects (from older ideas that
I had) and also
helping existing projects,

I saw this: And would be interested in learning how to join apache and help
out.

*Task added: *Sun May 29 2016
*Difficulty: * Journeyman - This requires a bit of knowledge of the
project, but otherwise is an easy task
*Task type:* Documentation and Guides

We introduced classes which provide support for the Microsoft Visio file
format (.vsdx ). Internally this is called XDGF.

Unfortunately the documentation about XDGF is lacking a bit,
http://poi.apache.org/overview.html does not list it correctly and the
sidebar point to http://poi.apache.org/hdgf/index.html, which is the
pre-Office 2007 .vsd-format, not .vsdx.

The documentation is built as Apache Forrest XML files. The source for
these is located at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/poi/site/

The task includes reviewing the overview description of formats supported
by Apache POI to properly list the support for Visio file formats and to
add new documentation for the XDGF file format if necessary/appropriate.
