Hi, I am a french student in computer science, specialized in embedded systems and low level programming. However, since I'm kind of a linux lover, I've always wanted to be involved in an open-source project, and it turns out that geany is very interesting to me.
I don't have a big professional experience, I am currently doing my final internship at the CNES (The french national space agency) My biggest project is a x86 operating system that I am currently developping with four of my friends (Quite useless project, but very didactic!). For every project I worked on, Geany has been my best friend (errr that sounds nerd), and now I would like to get involved on this project.
I hope that I will find some task to work on with you, bug correction, making coffee, ventilating, anything!
PS: I try to do my best to avoid english writting mistakes, but feel free to correct me if necessary ;)
Hi Nicolas,
Welcome, just install Geany source, READ the hacking file and pick a bug thats of interest to you and see if you can fix it. Just ask questions here and post patches here too.
Cheers Lex

Nicolas,
Just to offer you an alternative, scintilla is an upstream project of Geany--what I mean is, scintilla is the--well, microsoft would call it the control, in Linux I guess you'd call it the editing widgit--it's the main GUI (I think) that Geany uses for editing.
I'm trying to write a lexer / folder for scintilla for the family of markup languages including TWiki, Foswiki, and askRhk (my own variations on TWiki). A lexer/folder is the thing that highlights syntax and allows folding for a given language (like C, C++, HTML, ...).
If such a lexer/folder is written for scintilla, it is a small effort (and the "normal" thing to happen) to add it to Geany.
If you'd like to help with that effort, I could surely use the help. ;-)
If you want me to give you some example tasks and tell you about my progress to date, let me know.
(My problem is that I am not a C/C++ programmer, thus things are coming very slow.)

+1 for making coffee. There is never enough coffee available...
Er, more seriously, welcome Nicolas! As Lex said, read HACKING, ask questions, pick some bugs or feature requests or whatever else you want and get in touch. Very much appreciated.
