Contribution and bug-fixes

Being new to Linux environment (from a long standing Window background), I would like to start helping the developing and contributing to OI. I have downloaded and using the OI which I like it - the best one yet.

Few things that should be looked into:
GSUB of open type fonts which I have already raised ticket and requested to look into.

XPDF viewer. Latest LBOOK Beta release has a very good PDF viewer. I think it is the best so far for the E-Book readers. Can we port this into OI?

The text parser, pdf viewer and other parser / viewer (I guess you are using fbreader for this) do not have "goto page" option. Without this, it is very difficult to jump to a page, especially if you are reading a technical book and want to skip few chapters. (Is it available and am I missing it)

I have developed few fonts, which I can provide for usage - most of it are Indian, though. I have already provided to linux communities under GNU

Finally I can help and contribute - even fix few things. I am running Ubuntu Linux in Sun Virtual Box under XP. I can extract make changes and pack back Hanlin original V3updatebin file based on the tool mk3vudpate (and some scripts I wrote myself).

However I am unable to extract the file system from OI's V3bin file. Actually I can extract the file systems but unable to mount them. Maybe, if you can help me out, then I can start working on a few things myself before start real contribution.
Can you help me here please.

Thanks
