Hi Dineth,

We have following issues we need to look at (without poriorization, they 
are in some aspect all important):

# Fixing bugs

- Here we have especially a short coming on windows.

- We a have a special bugger code that leads to destroy files.

# Update to ODF 1.3 Std.

# Update SDKs for Windows

# Windows 64 Bit

# Move Code to Apple Silicon, and look at Rasperry pie version (Main 
issue is here a piece of code which looks at ABI code)

# replace make file (dmake, gmake with SCON approach)

# update dependencies.

# update code to c++11 standard (we need a strategy here, so that is a 
bit complicated topic)

# integrate diverse patches (they need to be checked, too).

# testing and reviewing Pull request on github.


My recommendation is to look at the build process and understanding that 
first. at least a little. If you have Windows get in touch with dev - 
Mailing list and ask for help since you need a outdated SDK.

If you have more questions I can go into details. OpenOffice is a huge, 
long living code base. It takes some effort to get into the whole code.



All the best

Peter
