That's how it started for me. I'm still at the very beginning of
coding at maybe I'm way to old to ever learn it entirely but I
wanted to have some menu points in the Mac Menu of OOo once the
Start Center and/or the last window is closed and you only see the
menu bar. So I asked Eric Bachard where to look in the code for
this menu part and after he told me I began reading that code parts
and after some trial and error figured out how to manipulate them.
I'm now happy that - at least in LibreOffice Beta - the changes I
did are in the build and perhaps even better than I could have done
them but it's a starting point. And when you do QA and talk about
this on various fairs people come up with ideas and now that I did
my first hackings I'm a step further into LibO/OOo.
