Hello! It's great to hear you're interested in working on Shotwell. I
saw your work on the crasher, so it looks like you're on your way.
Like most open-source projects, there's plenty to do. Aside from
browsing the ticket list, I would suggest going through the application
and asking yourself what you'd like to see changed. "Scratching an
itch" is often how most open-source work is motivated. I would
recommend starting small (which you have so far, so you're on the right
track) and moving upwards.
If you still can't find something to work on, please let me know and
I'll find something for you.
Thanks,
-- Jim

Hi, I'm Tobia, from Italy.
I'm studying for my BS in CS, have previously worked for a couple of
companies - mainly web portals and stuff - and was a GSOC student for
the ScummVM project last year.
I think Shotwell is an important piece of software and looks
interesting to hack on, I'd like to contribute a little in my spare
time.
Disclaimer: I'm no ace, my purpouse would be in no small part to get
some exercise and learn stuff.
I've started with attacking this one (really simple) ticket to get my
feet wet - you can find the link to the proposed patch in the
comments: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=717960
Is there anything you can suggest?
Interesting tickets to try and fix, IRC channels and pages to keep an
eye on, suggestions?
Thanks!
