Hi Terrence,

The most, erm, interesting, area of OOo for friends of low level C/C++ 
stuff probably is the bridge code between Binary UNO and the various C++ 
ABIs (bridges/source/cpp_uno, one sub-directory per ABI).  Here it is 
where calls to C++ member functions are synthesized and synthetic C++ 
objects are instantiated, to pass UNO method calls back and forth (see 
udk.openoffice.org for pointers).


Have fun,
-Stephan

Hi Terence,

I think it is exemplary of you to get involved. OOo is a great way to 
pass the time productively and have fun, too.


Per already pointed you in the right direction, but I also thought I'd 
also point out:


http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/BugBountyProgram/Issues

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Extensions_development#Ideas

Glad to have you with us! You are very welcome in the OOo community and 
doing good stuff here is an impressive addition to any resume.


Best regards,
Liz
