Hello all,
I'm interested in beginning to contribute to Geany. I'm a freshman CS major and I often find myself with way too much free time and needing something productive to do. As I've enjoyed using Geany, its something I'd like to get involved in. However, open source (and projects in general written by more than 2 people) is new to me, so I'll probably take it slow for a while. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Jacob
Hey Jacob ... my name is Sean Wolfe and I'm in a similar position to yourself, not a lot of Geany type contributions made as yet but I'm enthusiastic about the technology and would like to see it grow. I just got back on the Geany list after some time away from Geany , and I saw your intro hadn't been responded to so just wanted to say hi.
A bit late but just to reassure you you aren't the only interested party :)
Cheers!

Great to here! Its always great to to have contributions of coding power ;) (As Lex mentioned, a good starting point is reading HACKING and making a fork of geany git repository followed by reading code, messing around etc;) )
Cheers, Frank

Best advice:
1. read the HACKING file
2. re-read the HACKING file :)
3. make a github clone and start hacking on something, eg a bug or small feature, announce here so we don't have more than one person doing it and to get advice.
4. read the HACKING file to see what you didn't understand the importance of before you started :D
5. make a pull request on github to get it included in Geany
Cheers Lex
