The first OpenOffice.org Developer Article Contest just got announced:

"OpenOffice.org, with the support of Team OpenOffice.org e.V. and extra sponsorship from Sun Microsystems, announces its first Developer Contest starting February 1, 2006. The goal of the developer contest is to generate more developer documentation. We are also interested in promoting OpenOffice.org to developers at the same time.

As part of the contest, developers are asked to write articles about developer topics, such as porting, add-on and filter development (e.g. new wizards, Calc functions, chart types, etc.), bug fixing, etc. Every month a committee will pick the best article from the pool of submitted articles. Articles that did not initially win will stay in the pool, so that they can still win later. ..."

The full announcement can be found here, and detailed rules can be found on this Wiki page.
