Hi Laurent,

thanks for your advice and support.

> did you have a look there
I got this far:
http://www.openoffice.org/api/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/util/XMergeable.html
But XMergeable dosn't have dataArray, Yes, I know how to find it now.
Its in XCellRange or such.

Where is a list about all functions which are provided?
I digged into the source, then I knew that there is no str_replace.
But there should be easier ways.
Try googling for 'mysql functions'
First hit is this: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/functions.html
and you're done.

Great - where is the documentation about python?
Right, ctrl-f browser search does not help. You have to follow the
"scripting" link. I'd add the keywords python,javascript,beanshell there
eventually.

Now is openoffice still the wiki to be used for libre office?
If I want to make changes to the wiki does this mean that I have to test
what I do with both: OpenOffice and LibreOffice?

Then the first thing I'd made explicit is adding the word "LibreOffice"
to the start page so that everybody knows that its a "common wiki" for
both projects:
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Main_Page

On Wikipedia (or somewhere else) I've read that libreoffice and
openoffice deviated that much that a merge is very unlikely - that
features are manually copied, that all major linux distributions support
libreoffice - and that for licensing reasons its likely that more devs
will contribute to libreoffice in the future.

So where can I find the information about the roadmap - how the
libreoffice wants the future to look like?

I mean I have to know to which wiki to contribute.

I understand that OpenOffice has undergone many changes (Oracle, now
Apache, ...)

Its just making it difficult for me to judge where to contribute.

I may even consider contributing to the documentation etc.
So what would be the way to go? Contribute to both: OO and LO?

What is the majority on this list doing in such cases?

Thus if "http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Scripting/Scripting_Framework"
is the page I was missing or disregarding - how to reference it at
api.libreoffice.org?
