im ready to help, but where?

Hi all

I am tired of the dominance that Adobe has on the professional market and i would like to help in the project in bringing the GIMP up to the 20th century, with support for more than 8bits support.

In what area do you need help? i assume that someone manage and lead the project and could point me in a direction on where my help is needed.

I have mostly experience on the windows platform. Im a coder that have 10 years of experience with windows, and real-time application programming in C and C++.

Things i could do: Write demand specifications.
Write test specifications.
Search for bugs.
Test for bugs.
Code new functions.
Write documentation.
Read documents in search for errors.

i'm hoping that i could be of any help.

/Stefan

Great to hear! Your help will surely be appreciated. A good way to start would be to read up on GObject [1], the object framework GEGL is based on. This library is used for OO-ness in GEGL (and GIMP, GTK+ and as good as all other GNOME projects as well for that matter).

Would also be good to check out Babl and GEGL from SVN and build those so that you can start exploring some code.

If you are new to a *NIX development environment it will probably take a while to get accustomed to the conventions and methods used here, but feel free to hang around on #gegl or #gimp on irc.gimp.org for guidance on that and GIMP/GEGL hacking in general.

Øyvind Kolås know more in detail what currently needs focusing on in GEGL.
