I'm also very new to the KOM/OP stuff, but I hope I can help you (at least a
little bit): If you want to start a completely new part have a look at 
koffice/kimage. It's quite straightforward (with some additional info from
kdelibs/doc, some comments in the idl-files of the KOffice-libs, and the
examples at kdelibs/corba/tutorials :)
Normally this information is enough to start hacking - this is my current
"state" (due to lack of time :( but I hope this will improve soon...

Right at the moment I'm developing a filter for OLE-2.0 files (WinWord, Excel,
PowerPoint). If you want to join this little KOffice-sub-project feel free to
write a mail :)

The "problem" about that filters is that you need very little KOM-knowledge
(thanks to all the lib-developers :) and therefore this might be the wrong
project for you...
