Here are some ideas: Clang port. This is desirable to help keep the code very portable and clean and is also a good opportunity for someone wanting to polish his/her C++ skills, but beyond this it is critical to maintain the MacOS X port working with the latest tools. Ideally we should commit the gnumake4 CWS before this since it solves a issue defining the C compiler. Adding support for CardDav addressbooks. Shipping Seamonkey is rather inconvenient for us in AOO, it's also a huge package to carry and build only to support external addressbooks. Supporting WebDav, perhaps with the help of the Mulberry vCard Library, would enable us to support standard addressbooks. Familiarity with Webdav is required for this project. More information is here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/IP_Clearance_Address+Book Report builder as an external extension. This may also be applicable for the wordperfect filter or the mysql connector: we cannot ship this functionality with Apache OO due to licensing issues but making them available through external extensions in Apache Extras would be just fine. Some familiarity with the UNO API is a prerequisite. PDF import extension We need to replace xpdf with Apache PDFBox or something similar and add support OCR support with something like Tesseract: http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/ I think that's enough ... for now ;). cheers, Pedro.
