I think it’s time to try something new with this community rather than just posting articles all the time.

Personally, I’d like to see some improvements to Impress and Draw regarding the Line tool. I’d add the changes myself, but then I’d have to learn C++ and Java.

    Also, by the way, knowing C++ and/or Java will only get you so far. I mean, I don’t know C++, but I tried tweaking a tiny thing a few months ago and couldn’t even begin to guess in which folder the relevant code might live. Because well, the codebase is massive:

    I also just didn’t know what the relevant component would be called, otherwise I could’ve probably found it via full-text search. I could’ve probably asked around in the community, but I didn’t actually want to invest that much time back then…
