I definitely need to do more work on both the architecture and script
documentation.  It's on the list for GNOME 2.24.

Ha!  So...pick the absolute hardest things to script first.  :-)

If you have some other smaller apps to try first, you might have better
success.  Each of OOo, Firefox, and Thunderbird has its own, ahem,
unique interaction models, making them somewhat complex to work with.

If you have some specific things you want to start with, though, we
could try to discuss ways to approach them in the code.
