Hi

I'm sorry you found it hard. LibreOffice is a pretty tough place to get
significant changes deployed.

But don't give up, you're doing great! You already managed to land two
patches in pretty tricky areas, places most people fear to tread :-)

> I'm asking you for exactly the same thing: please give me a little
space... and give me a mentor...

Sure, we're happy to help. But some times, there are bigger things at play.
Release cycles are longer and tougher for a project this size.

Alas, a lot of your hacking is in places that have very (or none) people
that can help.

And this is a volunteer organisation, there is no large company behind it
that can "allocate anyone" to you.

But if you hang out on IRC, people are generally wlling to answer any
questions (assuming someone is around who knows the answer, that is not
always the case in a project this size).

Hope this helps, and keep up the good work.
