So, the first step is to set up a project folder where we can edit, build, test and deploy our code. With any project we like to have our code under version control so we can collaborate and roll back to earlier versions. So, here is what we learned: Set up a project folder

It was also a challenge to find good examples of how to code against the extensive API. However, it was difficult to find information on how to set up a development environment. Python was our favourite in that bunch and once you get going it is a very powerful and productive stack to work with. We could have gone with JavaScript, Basic, Python and the Java-like BeanShell scripting languages. With LibreOffice’s UNO (Universal Network Objects) component model, which has bindings to many programming languages, we were quite spoiled for choice. We were recently asked to automate some editing tasks for the Spotlight English editors who use LibreOffice Writer to prepare their episode copy. OneSheep OneSheep Scripting LibreOffice with Python
