Yes of course , kinda like a Windows only user couldn't install Linux and expect to be coding right off.
Another question is say for the Gtranslater tool, should one besides coding know many other Languages ? Dolan P.S. I shall check out the gnome wiki link and also other sites. Will also get on IRC and check out the irc channel , etc . On Oct 26, 2016 2:52 AM, "Carlos Soriano" <[email protected]> wrote: Hey Dolan, glad to hear this! For newcomer questions you can come to us in the IRC channel #newcomers at irc.gimp.org and also read our wiki where everything is explained https://wiki.gnome.org/Newcomers and we will glad to help for any question you might have. To become maintainer you need to be used and comfortable with the code, so you are able to review patches from other contributors, fixup nasty bugs, etc. This is usually done contributing patches and receiving input and review from the current maintainer if possible, and if not, other GNOME developers or we in Newcomers can try to review the common things that are usually in every GNOME project. This is usually flexible, the current maintainer can point you in the right direction. Have a nice hacking!

I'm willing to learn and study,read,practice , get better with it. Everyone starts something new, they have to learn. Life is a learning experience and sure knowing how to code before stepping into being a maintainer is a plus. Though some can learn in many ways . I'm willing and hopefully if allowed I can ask this mailing list questions if I have problems or need help with some code.
