Hello Derek,
Welcome to Apache OpenOffice Projekt. Any volunteer is welcome to help.
You can create Pull request through GitHub. After some time of successful
participation we will grant you committer rights.
Coding. Our codebase is not modern, we work with GCC++98 standard.
A switch to c++11 is not in scope at this moment.
Please note the Projekt still officially supports windowsXP and an old MacOS
lion (I think) version.
There are currently 2 main coding initiatives ongoing:
1) eliminate 4.2.0 regression issues, and get 4.2.0 release ready.
2) replace the build environment with Scon. The current build environment is
fragile.
Other topics I have noted done in the wishlist on confluence, which is public.
I hope this helps. If you need specific urls I can provide them later.
Currently I am not at a computer.
If there is something you need just ask or open a discussion with the headline
accordingly.
Welcome!
All the best
Peter
