Hi Scott, thank you for that hint. I'll try to answer your questions. :)
> As for specific questions, what is your programming experience? I've mainly written software for microcontrollers in C professionally. I have a little bit experience in C++, Java and Python. I would say in this languages I know enough to look things up. I know the basics of GTK+ as well. > What is your OS? Debian 8.1 > Have you worked on any other open source software? Not too much. Except for smaller patches I wrote the small tool heating-master [1] for a home automation project [2]. > Are you familiar with git? Yes.
