Dear Ryan,
thanks for introducing yourself and welcome to the project.
If you already have some ideas that you would like to contribute, I
would suggest you should directly go ahead and try to implement some
first steps for your ideas. You can then send your code patches here
to the list and ask for further suggestions and ideas, which will then
get you connected to the other developers which are interested in your
particular areas. Generally, developers who are working on their own
ideas ("scratching their personal itch") will also be the most
productive in terms of overall project progress.
Having said that, the bugzilla bug lists as reachable from here
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=GnuCash will show which
features are most wanted. In particular, the list of open issues with
milestone 2.4.0 as shown here
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=GnuCash&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&target_milestone=2.4.0
indicate that we definitely need some documentation updates very soon.
If you feel inclined to work on that area, your contributions are
greatly appreciated, but any other area is fine as well.
I guess you have already read http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Development
and we try to keep that page up-to-date, showing the suggested ways of
contributing patches and so on.
Thank you very much!
Regards,
Christian
Zitat von "Ryan M. Ward" <[email protected]>:
Hello all,
I just joined the list. I have been using GNUCash enthusiastically
for many years now and would like to contribute- any suggestions on
how to get started (besides the standard starting points with
software projects)? I have read through some of the source docs and
will continue to do so to try to get an overall idea of the
architecture of the software.
I have at least two ideas that I am interested in contributing but
in a effort to get familiar with the code, are there any smaller
outstanding projects which I can get started with that you guys feel
are good places to begin (I have been to the wishlist, etc... I
guess I am wondering what you feel needs to be done first and/or
what is not currently being handled)?
I am familiar with both C and Scheme. My background is in
Mathematics (B.S. with Physics minor, M.S. near completion).
Thanks a lot, I look forward to contributing to this project.
