[CinCVS] Contributing to Cinelerra: Where do I begin?

[Matt Pfingsten]

I'm interested in contributing to Cinelerra. My experience in programming is limited. I've done plenty of web development (amateur and semi-pro) using ASP and PHP. I'm assuming that is mere kids stuff next to C and it won't help me much.

I'm mainly interested in working on adding more support for exporting and/or importing EDL formats such as:
AAF (there is an app on SourceForge that can convert CMX3600EDL's to AAF)
Apple's XML Interchange Format v. 1, 2, and 3.
Film Cut Lists & Change Lists (I know how to make cut lists on paper and I am trained on an 16mm 8-plate Steenbeck and quite comfortable with the film editing process)
Various others

Does Cinelerra support Drop-Frame timecode? I know there was mention of this a while back when CMX3600 export was first added.

I also want to try my hand at creating a new theme for Cinelerra and I have ideas for various little features that I want to try creating (like a "New Region" command similar to the one in ProTools, or a readout that displays the project's current TRT, sub-directories in Resources, etc.)

Where should I start?
