Welcome Charles,
thank you for your introduction. Please take some minutes to read the
documents about "How can you help" at
http://qa.openoffice.org/helping.html and about the issue handling at
http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/index.html. Within the first
link you find information about the formalism to get privileges
regarding confirmation of issues in IssueTracker.
If you like to do automation there are two ways. The first would be
using the testtool (http://qa.openoffice.org/qatesttool/index.html)
which would be the GUI approach. The second is testing the API via API
framework (http://qa.openoffice.org/qadevOOo_doc/index.html) which is
more technical but as you already programmed C++/Perl/Java it might be
the most interesting for you.
If you like to help the localization teams then please take a look at
http://qa.openoffice.org/localized/index.html
Kind regards, Joost
