Hi Alexander, first of all: Welcome to the Geany Project. There are a few things you should have a look (if you didn't yet).
There is a bug tracker at [1] and a feature tracker at [2] which maybe contain bug reports or even feature requests which may already have a patch attached. To avoid redundant efforts, it's always a good idea to have a look there first, if there already is anything concerning the topic.
There are also mailing lists archives where you can find, if topics maybe already were discussed. You can find them at [3] and [4]. I assume, for current discussions, you already subscribed to both, users and developers list? :)
Before beginning with hacking, you should have a look on the HACKING file at [5] - if you haven't yet.
Some points where you can begin: * fix bugs found in the bug trackers, send a patch to this mailing-list (geany-devel@uvena.de) * add new features you found in the tracker, but first decide, if it should be a core feature or better implemented in a plugin. If you're not sure, you can discuss this on this mailing list. * write new plugins from the wishlist you can find at [6], note that this is a plugin wishlist, which shouldn't contain any wishes for core features. If you're going to write a plugin it would be cool if you write your README file in restructuredText. I'm currently working on a new plugins.geany.org (a preview can already been seen at plugins2.geany.org) and I'm in excessive use of restructuredText to update the site automagically.
I hope this informations are helpful for you so far. If you like to have SVN access for Geany or Geany Plugins, just tell us, one of the sf.net admins for these projects can setup the access for you then.
Feel free to ask here if you have any questions. :)
Best Regards, Dominic

Dominic is right, especially about looking at the HACKING file first. I would say to also get familiar with the SVN trunk version of Geany, as there are many changes since the last release (see ChangeLog).
Also see the TODO file, but these may be bigger items than the feature request tracker items.
But often developers just work on things they find missing from Geany or that don't work that well/aren't flexible enough. Start discussions on any changes here if you're not sure about them.
