Great! Any link to the work you did this Saturday? I couldn't find much
changes on the wiki Whiteboard.

Ok, I'll try to shift my working time a bit (at least a few days a
week), to work during your afternoon.

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]

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.
