Hi, My name is shankhs, I love trekking, running and volleyball, I am a C/C++ developer. My work is mostly to create softwares to help hardware designers. I develop my apps mostly using vi, but a few days back my friend suggested geany and I liked it a lot and now I am using geany for lots of dev works. Now since geany is open source I want to contribute back to the community. Can anyone please help me in following things:
1. I believe the source control is svn? 2. Which are the libraries ( not standard C ones ) being used in geany?I figured out gtk+ 2, are there any more libraries ? 3. Can anybody mentor me? 4. There is a lot of auto-generated code in geany, can I get a stripped source code which I can compile with plain gcc and and not use autogen.sh? It becomes a lot easier to understand then. 5. Which is the better way to start a) try to reproduce some bugs then create a patch or b) implement some requested feature? 6. Can I be assigned a bug or a feature request? OR is this voluntary?how does this works? I think its better if admins assign me a bug ( or feature) or two.
Thank you so much for taking the pain to go through my novice curiosities.Looking forward to your answers.
Thanks and Regards shankhs
