Sure - in fact, this is a pretty good place to get started. You'll need
to get in touch with the GNOME translation team though - I'm not sure
about the details.

You don't need to know too much about these things for coding. However,
for translation, you need to understand a bit about PO files, which
basically contain translated strings in your favourite language.

I'd suggest you start by downloading and building the latest snapshot
tarball from http://anjuta.sf.net/cvs/ , since so much has changed since
0.1.9. The next step might be to just familiarize with the program flow
and code structure. Next, you need to read the HACKING file present in
the tarball.

I'm not exactly sure what this bug is, but feel free to take any bug
from SF bug/RFE list and try and fix it. Send patches in 'diff -u'
format to the devel list, preferably with CC to Naba/Andy. However, make
sure that the bug exists in the latest CVS first. Sometimes, bugs are
fixed but the SF bug is not closed immediately.

Not at all !

Hope this helps.

Rgds,
