Your first step is to setup your computer in order to build LibreOffice from source code. The first compilation may take a few hours, depending on the computer. You must go through this, and verify that the freshly-compiled LibreOffice works. When you then make small changes to the source code, the new compilation will be much faster, such as a few minutes or less. Then, if you are not already familiar with the source code management tool called 'git', try for example http://try.github.io/ 'Git' is very important, because you can change a bit of code, compile again, and if it does not work, you can easily go back to the working state you had in the beginning. If the change works, 'Git' will help you to generate the changes/patch to send here. There are many bug reports that require just a few lines of code, but they are still pending because it takes some effort to set up the build environment and compile for each case. If you go through the general Bugzilla list or the EasyHacks list, you can find several of them. Simos
