We want to port the LibreOffice API examples to Python to help newcomers better understand LibreOffice API. The API lets people create extensions and programs that work with LibreOffice, the well known free and open source office suite.
We have a large set of examples, mostly written in Java. Some of them are also available under the same name in many other languages, including Python, BASIC and C++. This is the list of examples:
LibreOffice API examples:
https://api.libreoffice.org/examples/examples.html
To understand the task better, you can see the previously ported examples in the LibreOffice source code:
https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/refs/heads/master/odk/examples/python/
For doing this task, you need a good understanding of Python, and basic knowledge of Java programming language.
We offer mentoring for newcomers. You will be on-boarded through an interview and a series of discussions.
