Hi Kushal,

Glad that I was able to help clarify things.  I think that a successful
project will focus on the following, roughly in this order:

* making the plugin work with OOo 3.x
* user interface/experience improvements (we know it could be
streamlined, etc)
* supporting CC0
* supporting OOo Draw

Thanks again for your interest, looking forward to reading your proposal.

Best regards,

Nathan
