The OpenOffice.org Development Digests
This is the index page for the development digests where I hope to be able to bring the general OpenOffice.org development community (and the "lurkers") a reasonable summary of each weeks news, hopefully some new development info so that the beginners and lurkers can also contribute, a summary of Issuezilla statistics and a digest of the CVS activity.
If you would like to contribute or see something in particular in the weekly digest then please drop me an email.
