Re: Building LibreOffice for Android

Hi Tor, All,

Firstly, Thank you for the response and the useful pointers.

What we really need is more people who are able to build the code and

a little feature. I noticed that there is a lot to do both in terms of
improving the current code and adding features/functionality. I am very
eager to continue working on it. While I explore the LibreOffice
infrastructure and code base, things become clearer to me and I will
hopefully contribute something substantial eventually. Meanwhile, I would
appreciate if there is anything (android-wise) I should be aware while I
explore the code base particularly.

Thanks,
