some analysis already happened, e.g.

* http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=34800, where some 
results from a codeanalysator are presented.

* we found that the attribute of the OpenOffice.org build environment to 
copy header files into the solver directory makes more difficult, the 
build environment and source code layout may need to be modified to make 
effective code analysis possible.

It is highly appreciated to develop such work within the OpenOffice.org 
framework but as long your work results in a standalone tool this is not 
a requirement. But as described above, I expect that you also going to 
modify OOo source, this has to be happen via child workspaces (cws).

I'm unsure what and how you want to do with or use logos and names, 
please also see

JCA is required for code contributions, PDL for documentation.
