Nice, I'm sure that knowledge is useful for you to get into the gnupdf library. > My programming skills covers C/C++, Java, perl, ruby, bash and I work > under debian amd64. Right now we're doing mostly C with a bit of perl/awk/bash for small scripts. My recommended steps to start contributing is as follows, 1. Get a copy of the trunk http://gnupdf.org/Dev:Newcomers#Getting_a_copy_of_the_sources 2. Get familiar with the library http://gnupdf.org/Dev:Newcomers#Getting_familiar_with_the_library 3. Read our coding conventions http://gnupdf.org/Dev:Newcomers#Getting_familiar_with_our_coding_conventions 4. Look for a "NEXT" task on flyspray, our task manager. (though I feel we need a human one too :-P ) http://www.gnupdf.org/flyspray 5. Tell us what task you would like to start, so we make sure you don't get eaten by the earth along the way. :-) 6. Start hacking !!! BTW, If you're not familiar with the GNU coding standards, http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards it's not a thing to worry now. cheers, and feel free to ask anything. -gerel
