Hi! Welcome! We're very interested in getting that work moving forward.
Attach to bugzilla for now. Also get a Committer License Agreement signed complete with a public promise that "I have not now nor ever been a signator or otherwise bound by a microsoft NDA or other exclusionary agreement for any office-file-format related stuff" Then tell me privately and cc glen about if you've ever been bound by other microsoft agreements (So we can talk to legal people).
This may sound like an excessive amount of CYA...but when you pee in billg's sanka you better have a good escape plan.

With some help from Shaheed Haque (who wrote the powerpoint filter for KPresenter), I've been able to find out more about how the powerpoint file format actually works. I've also been given the go-ahead by my boss to do more work on the powerpoint support than is actually needed by our project, so we can give something back to poi.
So, all being well, I ought to be able to improve on the initial code quite a bit. This leads to two questions:
1) what should I do with any code updates? Attach them to new bugzilla posts / to the existing one / something else?
2) what should I do with any documentation?
Thanks Nick
