Gimp hacking and next reslease

If I want to do some work on gimp, is it better to wait for stable 2.8 now when this reslease is quite near?

I see no reasen why you should wait. The best thing for getting startet is to meet the other developers in IRC and talk directly with them. Here you can find a wiki page with some informations for new developers. Perhaps it's an good idea to ask for an wiki account and adding everything you are missing from that page:

http://wiki.gimp.org/index.php/Users:Beginner_Developer%27s_FAQ

A good start is to look for bug with the "gnome-love" keyword in the bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org
/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=keywords%3Agnome-love+product%3A%22GIMP%22+

This are bug that should be easy to fix. I would recommend to 1. Look for a bug you like to fix.
2. Talk to the developers on IRC about the bug. 3. Start coding.

Tobias
