Re: Beginner

Hello,
if you want to contribute with coding, I would suggest you:
- first (try to) build LibreOffice, depend on OS it can be tricky, but 
less than it used to be. This implies to download the source code, 
resolve dependencies and use the compiler
- if not yet, get familiar with git (some basic commands are needed) and 
with gerrit

once done, to get more familiar, try to solve an easy hack or solve a 
bug that you can reproduce. But I would recommend solve easy hacks, this 
would avoid starting in some too deep part of the code.

A good starting point is : https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development

Else on debugging, even if not solving, already isolating the exact 
point of the problem and the reason is already of big help and a good 
point to get infos/ advice of more experienced developers.

Best regards
