Hello Dear Sir,

My name is Shubham Verma. I am a B tech 2nd-year I.T. student and I would like to look into working with LibreOffice for the Google Summer of Code 2019.


Great! Welcome to LibreOffice!




I have just recently started learning and looking into the contributions that I can make to GitHub issues. As this is my first GSOC  I wanted to know what other things I have to do to be part of an organization.


We don't use GitHub at all for the LibreOffice project. What you see on our GitHub repo is just a read-only mirror.

The answer you got on the dev mailing list still stands mostly: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2019-March/082306.html




I mentioned my interest and project on which I want to work on below, have a look at that and tell me what will be good for me. I want to work on the project Additions - Tight integration of extensions like GHNS! and 100 paper cuts under the guidance of yours. and I want to ask you if you have a particular long-standing idea on which I can work.


Both sound good.

For the 100-paper-cuts idea, you will need to go thorough the list of the paper-cuts,[0] and select 15-20 of them, preferably related to the same or similar part(s) of the code-base. Write a draft with them, and ask for input/opinion from me or Samuel Mehrbrodt.

For the "Additions - Tight integration of extensions like GHNS!" idea, you will need to investigate the current situation of the extensions website,[1] and the extension manager, go through the initial idea and the blog post[2] by Heiko Tietze, try to refine the idea, and come up with a final design. Attending design meetings[3], and also discussing the idea with Heiko Tietze and me would help a lot. Beware that this is a very nice project idea, but might need some preliminary work to give it a final shape, preferably before submitting your final proposal. Otherwise, it might cause you to lose some time at the beginning of the GSoC timeline.




I would be grateful if you can tell me if there's anything else that I could do which would be appreciated. Any further guidance or inputs would certainly be of great help.


If you are going to go with the 100-paper-cuts idea, here is a nice easyhack of 'interesting' level: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115527

Any other 'interesting' easyhack, that you feel interested, would also be good.





Thank you!


Best,
Muhammet
