The most "interesting" field to investigate before actually planning the 
project is how a Python extension in LibreOffice can integrate 
"third-party" code. That is: how can you include python-ly (does it have 
to be installed manually, can it be somehow fetched automatically 
through Git or pip)? how can that Python extension make use of PyQt for 
its GUI? (How) is it possible to load code from Frescobaldi, or is this 
not necessary (because the more basic and fundamental python-ly 
functionality is sufficient)?

Maybe it makes sense to find and register with a suitable LibreOffice 
mailing list too.
