About the classes and stuff, yes ill be having classes and exams during the gsoc but only half day, so ill be working noon/night my time on the gsoc stuff. Ok, I'll try to shift my working time a bit (at least a few days a week), to work during your afternoon. I checked the CMIS code, but ill need some pointers on how to use that, im guessing i need to use that through uno stuff right?? There are two ways to use it ATM: * Directly link the libcmis library in your module and use it directly (see example of use in cmis-client.cxx [0] * Opening a special URL with the LibreOffice UCB. See some sample URLs in the units tests [1]. The LibreOffice fpicker can also help you to understand how these are normally handled [2] This week, im gonna try doing basic stuff with the GUI to get more familiar with it and know exactly what i need todo when implementing the full dialog and already got libreoffice compiled without issues on latest master. I see that you already have a git access: this is good. You can start by creating a feature branch for your work and start your tests in it. After that, I thing the best is to start creating a new dialog from scratch and link it to a menu entry. Once that is set, you'll be able to concentrate on the dialog itself.
