Hi all KOffice users and developers!

My name is Per Hermansson and I'm a student from the Royal institute of 
technology in Sweden. I've recently switched to KDE and started to use 
KOffice my thought is that participating in the community seems like the 
next step to take. One of the KOffice ideas that interested me the most 
is about adding support for /versioned OpenDocument files/ (see 
http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Projects/Summer_of_Code/2009/Ideas#KOffice). 


After some investigation I've come up with the following initial 
questions about the idea:

    *

      First, the pre-requisite mentions excellent English reading skills
      but also that this feature is not documented in the OpenDocument
      specification so I'm just curious about the intention behind the
      requisites. From what I understand, the ability to understand (or
      reverse engineer the OpenOffice the implementation) is more
      important aspect?

    *

      When implementing this feature would it be better to make it into
      an add-on instead of the integrating it in the main distribution?

    * Final question is that the idea don't have a mentor, is it
      possible to find one here on the list, or what is the best
      strategy to find one here?
