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 at 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
