Hi Roberto, and welcome here!
How should I start ?
You should first read the HACKING file the the repository, but then it depends on what you'd like to work on.
If there is something particular you're interested in, either start writing a patch and propose it if it's relatively simple, or start a discussion on this mailing list if the matter requires some more complex decisions to be made.
If you'd just like to work on something, you can pick a bug (http://sourceforge.net/p/geany/bugs/) or a feature request (http://sourceforge.net/p/geany/feature-requests/) and try addressing it. You can also take a look at http://www.geany.org/Support/PluginWishlist, although this is quite old and outdated (some things are already addressed, some are crazy…).
Don't hesitate to ask anytime on the mailing list or on the IRC channel.
Regards, Colomban

To emphasise what Colomban says, its important to ask on the mailing list before you do too much, the last thing you want is to spend lots of time and then have people say they don't want that change, or that there is a better way of doing it.
Don't know where you are located, but be aware that IRC is timezone dependent and not all developers use it.
Cheers Lex

I'm being a bit off-topic, but...
I think Roberto D Machado sounds Brazillian to me, so I'd like to say:
Bem vindo ao geany!
If you aren't Brazillian, then my apologies for assuming such. Disculpe alguma coisa ;-)
I think you'll like this group. They are responsive, and I've seen a good variety of people from all over the world respond to this list. The only pitty is I don't know where everyone is from. I think it would be interesting to see how we're distributed throughout the world. It seems Colomban is from France, based on his reply text, Frank seems to have a German email address, and I don't know where the others are.
Até mais,
Steve

Maybe we should add a world map somewhere. From my personal experince there is a little peak of developers/contributors/user in Germany. Maybe because of the reasons it's where everything started or because I just think as I meet more Germans using Geany than maybe Japanese. However, as you can see from transaltions we're having users all over the world and that's a real great thing. Main developers are all around the globe -- again a little peak in Europe.
Cheers, Frank

Frank is being modest, I'm sure much of the peak in Europe is the effort that he and others spend at conferences and gatherings promoting Geany. :)
The one side effect of the timezone spread is that it is often best to discuss things on ML or github not on IRC, to give people in all the different time zones a chance to respond. Otherwise you only get input from those who happen to be online at that moment.

Well, for luck we got a group of usual suspects here together with folks of German Xfce-Community running at least some regular boothes on local events in Germany (CLT in March, FrOScon in August, ORR in November) and around (e.g. Prague we were two weeks ago). So it's really not about me, but mostly about the others running all the offline stuff. To name some it's Enrico, Jiri, Dmaphy and a bunch of others not regular posting on lists (to have just the Geany part of our booths)-- but some of the Germans from this list we are still missing at the boothes ;)
However, I really think you are true. It's extremly important to do talks, being around with boothes etc. to show what we did and what might going to happen und so to make them use your/our crap or like to contribute. Also it is great to meet folks from distributions like packager and of course other usual suspects. Some of them are becoming kind of a familiy during time and you really wonder if they are not appearing. Also folks passing by are always happy to take stickers with them ;) So I'd really like to encourage you to run boothes all over the world at FLOSS-events. If you are not sure, just get in contact with us (as we're having some experince from last 6(?) years). Also we put a lot of stuff to the geany-talks repo incl. some posters and slides of talks I did last years. -> https://github.com/geany/talks
