I have been experimenting with building OpenOffice (trunk) with Visual

Is there an appropriate place to document/share/seek advice on progress
to date within the projects' infrastructure? Perhaps an issue in Bugzilla?
Very cool.
An issue in Bugzilla would be good for tracking the progress. For
questions (and hopefully answers) ooo-dev is the right place. Maybe a
wiki page for documentation.
Navigating the build system has been challenging. Pointers to
information to highlight how the build system works (so that any changes
to accomodate VS2010 I make don't work contrary to the intent of its
designers) would be appreciated.
I doubt that there is up-to-date information written down in the wiki.
But please ask questions here on ooo-dev.
The use of stlport by the Windows build causes some of the issues that I
have encountered, perhaps through ignorance on my part about how stlport
should be used. Is the intention to continue using stlport, or should I
investigate excising stlport from a hypothetical VS2010 build?
We would like to drop stlport but I think we are not there yet. I think
Herbert can say more about that.
