The big, fat disclaimer: I have real world programming experience with small and medium projects and I'm a reasonably good student (my grades are around 95/100 - or, roughly, I'm in the top 5%), but I have never hacked LO.
Was any of those a C++ project?
I read the proposed ideas, but I'm not sure if they are doable without previous experience with the codebase - especially, such a /huge/ codebase. Should I give it a try anyway?
Sure! As long as you have fairly decent C++ knowledge, you should not worry, mentors will help you get bootstrapped. I knew nothing about the internal API's etc in 2010, still could complete a project successfully.
They sound like fun and doable hacks - I guess they might be combined with other stuff from EasyHacks, too, but I'd like to hear from someone who knows what kind of beast the codebase is before jumping in.
So, try to solve an EasyHack, that is needed anyway to be eligible, better to do it now, instead of during the last weekend in a rush before the deadline. :-)
P.s.: My English may sound a bit shaky. Because it is. Sorry about that!
No need to worry, it's OK. Best, Miklos
