Hello everyone,

Firstly I want to thank again to Germán Póo-Caamaño for his prompt reply to
my request for support on the gnome-love mailing list.

As I previously said, I took into consideration his advice to decide upon
one project I use most to start contributing on. So, after a couple of
hours of thoughts and research, I decided that Evince is probably the
program I use most from gnome since I often read books in pdf format and
also I think ( I may be wrong ) that it doesn't require much other
knowledge excepting C/C++ and GTK ( I'm well-versed in C/C++ and started
learning GTK about 2 months ago ) so it would come more naturally to me to
work on it.

So now I would like, if possible, to get some further support in order to
make my first steps in contributing to Evince: for example to be assigned a
accessible bug for a newcomer.

Hi Cruceru Calin,

Assuming you have already built the development version of Evince, I
would suggest you to start with:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626153

It has already a patch, but it needs to be rebased to the current
master, apply the fixes according to the review, and resubmit it.

Welcome aboard!
