This is precisely information that is not documented at the moment, and - indeed - some aspects are still probably in evolution. Only the project's leading devs could really give you a satisfactory answer. But, certainly, the lack of developer documentation is something that is a real brake to people wanting to ease themselves into a position of being able to hack code for the project. AFAIK, a lot of the Java is being replaced with Perl. You have 2 resources that can help you familiarize yourself a little with the code base: http://docs.libreoffice.org/ This is some partial API documentation. And you've got: http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/ Powered by OpenGrok - "a wicked fast source browser!" This is a tool to search in the LibreOffice GIT repositories. For more info on getting into development, you can visit: http://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/developers/ HTH at least a bit. :-) -- David Nelson -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
