Gsoc request for guidance

[Heiko Tietze]

Hi Fady,

Welcome to LibreOffice! "Download" is a quite unspecific description of what you did before things went wrong (please don't *download* sources via zip). We have guides on our wiki [1] how to set-up the environment and a recent blog post [2] that recaps everything. Once you can build, you should read the GSoC intro [3] and find some easy hacks [4] to prove your coding skills. Ideally those patches show your expertise in an area where your want to contribute later. For ideas take a look at this page [5].

Hope you enjoy the time with LibreOffice,
Heiko (UX mentor)
