Hi, Thanks Roan and Platonides for the pointers and instructions. I read the link Roan gave [1] and found it a good place to get started. I am currently surfing the Developers Hub [2] and trying to get a good understanding of things. After this as Platonides suggested, I will be looking at bugs and will sure consult on the list before proceeding with one.
