The "ToDo" list in our wiki is a list of potential occasional external
contributors, but there is more for developers that want to contribute
on a more regular basis.

What we are currently doing can be seen on

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Writer_Work_In_Progress

What we have planned to do in the near future is written on

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Writer_Planned_Work

Most of the task here are on hold due to missing preconditions like ODF
specifications.

Some issues that are under evaluation are listed at

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Writer_Stuff_Under_Evaluation

I would like to point you to especially one issue:

http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6193 ("Notes hard to see
and edit")

The "Notes" feature in Writer lacks usability and doesn't look very
appealing. This is the Writer RFE with the most votes in our community.
As it is quite some work to do but does not go too deeply into the
Writer core and layout code it is a great task for developers new to
Writer that want to get into the code and that love to work on a
challenging and safisfactory task.

I hope this gives you some overview.

Best regards,
Mathias
