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.
Hi Jim, thanks for answering my post.
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.
Thanks for the advice!
Actually, the first ticket I attacked (#717960, natural sorting) /is/
one of my pet peeves - I know fully well that those provide the best
motivation :-)
Another one of my itches is detailed in #716598 (make tag names
semi-insensitive).
I had a very quick glance at it earlier on during my lunch break - it
seems feasible, but looking at the way the tag "tree" is handled I
suspect it's not trivial as it sounds and it could be a couple of days
of work - e.g., I still am not really sure about where the various entry
points for new tags are.
I'll probably get to play with it a bit this weekend, I'll keep you
posted if I get anywhere /or/ if I get really stuck :-)
