Some thoughts on the learning curve

One of the biggest problems facing AOO is getting new developers up to speed. As I understand it, there is a small group of developers who do understand AOO, but do not have anywhere near enough time to do everything that needs doing. Meanwhile, you have newcomers with various levels of exper

I have made changes to https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO/Step_by_step to record what I learned during this process. It would be helpful if someone with a Windows machine could attempt a build using the latest version of those instructions, to test them. --
