I'm going to be devoting at least 2 hours a day to working on gnucash from today through Saturday. Before I get down to it, I'll need to read through my backlog of -devel emails, and update and build trunk; but once I do get started, here are some things I'm thinking of working on:
1) Get the new check printing features working on Ubuntu 9.10 -- which might be as simple as installing the new release from the Ubuntu backports repo, or as difficult as manually backporting the features to a custom package and hosting it on a PPA. 2) Work on more complete doxygen documentation of gnucash internals, which would involve (besides studying the code) questions to -devel about the purpose and structure of various files, classes, etc. 3) Learn and practice designing new reports; I'd see what's been requested, and attempt to create some of them. 4) Attempt to simplify and streamline the process for inputing invoices and paying bills. At least as I understand it, there are way too many steps and dialog boxes in this process, and it'd be good to make it easier to handle. While I've been paying attention, and making limited contributions, to FOSS for some years now, I'm pretty new to actually devoting time and sustained attention to a project, and I feel somewhat anxious about it. Any comments or suggestions regarding my effort, or any of the specific tasks I mentioned, would be gratefully appreciated.
