        There are no formal requirements of specifications - clearly we want to
provide a Free Software Office Suite to tons of users.

        We have documentation at:

        http://docs.libreoffice.org/

        We have module inter-dependencies generated (which I guess we should
somehow work out how to link there) here:

        That's very much a personal-taste issue; eg. I use 'emacs' many others
use 'vi' or a variant; any professional tool for editing would no doubt
work which would include Eclipse / MSVC etc. I'd strongly recommend not
using the moral equivalent of 'notepad' ;-)

        Sure - the solution is to chip away at the problem incrementally, and
also to build better metrics.

        Yes; compile on Linux with --enable-gtk3, then:

export GDK_BACKEND=broadway
export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3

        run soffice - and connect to localhost:8080 - this is of course a
-prototype- proof of concept not a product - patches (not bug reports)
appreciated.

        Looking forward to your first patches; what are you interested in
working on ?

        All the best,

                Michael.
