| <H2 ALIGN=LEFT>Project Overview |
| </H2> |
| <HR> |
| <P>The OpenOffice.org Graphics project is the host project for |
| different graphic centric applications like the drawing application |
| <B>Draw</B>, which allows you to easily create pixel and vector based |
| graphics, the presentation application <B>Impress</B> for creating |
| 'bleeding edge' and powerful presentations and the charting |
| application <A HREF="http://graphics.openoffice.org/chart/chart.html"><B>Chart |
| 2</B> </A>to add the necessary charting functionality to all |
| applications, especially to the spreadsheet application<U><B> <A HREF="http://sc.openoffice.org/">Calc</A></B></U>.</P> |
| <P>The project also contains the necessary modules for several |
| graphic engines like e.g. the 'DrawingEngine' or the |
| 'PresentationEngine' on which all applications are built upon.</P> |
| <P>Beside that, the graphic filter development as well as the |
| development of the MS Powerpoint binary filter is located within this |
| project.</P> |
| <P>If you want to take a deeper look at the currently developed new |
| Charting (Chart 2) module, please click <U><B> <A HREF="http://graphics.openoffice.org/chart/chart.html">here</A></B></U> |
| for futher information.</P> |

| <P>IssueZilla, the OOo internal bugtracking system features a |
| keyword "easy2dev", which indicates issues which are easy |
| to fix - that easy, that new developers should have not much trouble |
| with them. Not much of the projects issues have this flag been set |
| so far, but this will change in the near future to attract more and |
| more developers to participate in the success of OOo and so to |
| be a part of this great community. So, if you're looking for some |
| small fixes to do: take a look at<U><B> <A HREF="http://www.openoffice.org/issues/buglist.cgi?issue_status=NEW&issue_status=STARTED&issue_status=REOPENED&keywords=easy2dev&keywords_type=anytokens">this |

| </A><BR>If you're interested in one of the mentioned engagements, |
| just ask the owner of the issue, and/or the person who added |
