I raised that question on this list some weeks ago but now I would like
to raise it again. Wouldn't it be possible to organize some kind of
"banshee classroom". I mean regularly IRC meetings where banshee
developers teach beginners about the code. From a beginners standpoint,
the code is huge and it's difficult to get through. I guess there are
many people out there who would like to contribute more to the project
but are lacking experience. I know that Im asking someone for his
precious time but I guess it would be worth it. And once a beginner has
got more experience he could be the next teacher for the "banshee
classroom".

Just a thought...
