Re: Need help with LO codebase.

Dear Joren,

Thank you very much for your help.

Yes its about the GSOC project. I was thinking that maybe if I could get
started with the familiarizing part now itself it would be useful for later
on. I think I should put that aside for now.

The Easy Hacks seem to be a good place to start with.

Sameer Deshmukh
