Work for new contributors (news from 2012-05-04)

I would like to start contributing to GIMP. I was going to start with an old enhancement request on bugzilla, but I don't know my way around the source code yet. Someone on irc suggested I check the news on gimp.org from 2012-05-04, about porting little things.

So, how can I help?

A good way to get guidance is to drop by in the #gimp IRC channel on gimpnet (irc.gimp.org) and state your question.

It might take a while until someone reacts, but there are people out there that know their way around in the code and are willing to help.

Some advice though: We generally frown upon "I have a question. Can someone help me?" or "anybody here?"... :) Make sure to ask as specific questions as specific as possible. This increases the chances on getting a reply a lot.

Glad you want to help! Simon

There are some easy tasks marked in the bugzilla with the "GNOME-love" tag: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=keywords%3Agnome-love+product%3A%22GIMP%22+

I would suggest that you: 1. Find something that you are interested in. 2. Talk about your planned solution (IRC or this Mailing list) 3. Code
4. Add a Git-Patch to a bug in bugzilla.

Regards, Tobias
