<h4>Testing the code</h4>
<ul>
  <li>
    <p><a href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Tinderbox">Tinderbox</a><br>
With many developers working on different platforms on the same
codebase easiely leads to <emph>incompatibilities</emph>. A Tinderbox
allows you to check the "buildability" of the current code and helps
finding who broke the build. The Tinderbox provides the build logfiles
so that it is easy to check what (and who) broke the build.</p>
    <p> If you have some CPU time to burn please consider running a <a
 href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Tinderbox">tinderbox
client</a>. We need many tinderbox client machines that are doing
builds! </p>
    <p> Tinderbox topics/issues can be discussed on the
tinderbox@tools.openoffice.org <a
 href="http://tools.openoffice.org/servlets/SummarizeList?listName=tinderbox">
mailing list</a>. </p>
