Dear Sudhanshu,
I've been looking at tasks for in terms of potential doability and
your strong point.
I propose something completely new, yet useful: Import Tables from
OpenOffice/LibreOffice Base (ODB files) to Kexi.

This task involved research on ODB format (it's relatively openly
defined). Qt/C++ shall be used for the task, not any Java engine (HSQL
db). See http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/FAQ_(Base) for a start.

In GUI the feature shall be put in the same place as the import from
MDB: External Data -> Import Tables ->
Table Importing Wizard. Then user would see .odb support in the open
file dialog.

This could be introduction to later development of complete database import.

If this is interesting for you I would define the scope and details to
help you as much as I can.
