To-Do List
Porting/To-Dos
Helping push a particular port forward (sparc, arm, netbsd, etc, etc)

OpenOffice.org Platform Technology: Faster Startup
Probably the most discussed problem since StarOffice 4.0. One first shot would be to optimize library exports. Contact

Code Analysis
Keeping the code flexible, maintainable, extensible, is highly desired. However the current state of the code is quite opaque. Providing tools to detect areas that became or become prone to be examined would be highly desirable. Contact

Qa/To-Dos
Release QA Tracking Tool
Tracking a release with dozens of languages and several platforms can be tedious. This is especially the case if the only used tool is a manually maintained table with colors indicating the status.
A web based tool should help us to keep track of the location and status of the builds as well as the responsible contact. The workflow in place should be supported. The tool should provide an overview, the means to maintain a release including easy status manipulations.

Bug Tracking System statistics
Provide statistics issues submitted per time, number of active contributors, etc

Stats/To-Dos
Source Code Repository Activity
Provide statistics for CVS repository activity. The first step would be a quick analyse what type of statistics other projects are providing. Together with our requirement to better understand how the code base and groups of committers are evolving this should give input to start work on the preparation of some nice stats and graphs about repository activity. Results should be generated with open-source tools, automatically and on a regular basis for the http://stats.openoffice.org website. Additionally an interface to [1] cia would be helpful.
