Unfortunattely I am without the time I would like to spend on the GIMP, but I have set my goals to the 2.2 release.

Hi, "Eric Pierce" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Forgive my naivety, but what would be a good way to plunge into some > Gimp code and maybe even help out someday? Subscribe to the gimp-developers mailing list, read the code, consider to look into the docs at http://developer.gimp.org/api/1.3/. Make yourself familiar with GLib, GObject and GTK+, query Bugzilla for places that need to be worked on. You can also join the developers in #gimp.

[Gimp-user] Coding for Gimp
Forgive my naivety, but what would be a good way to plunge into some Gimp code and maybe even help out someday? I currently do web development (PHP, JavaScript, ColdFusion) and I've mucked a little with C/C++ and I even did some Assembler programming on the (don't laugh) Apple ][+ years back. Any comments, suggestions and gentle shoves in the right direction would be much obliged. Thanks, Eric Pierce ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
