Is is possible to write some kind of integration tests?
I have experience with writing tests for web applications (Ruby on 
Rails), and maybe I can contribute to Dia this way.
Also, is there a list with easier issues to work on, in order to get to 
know the code base?
I searched through Dia's bugzilla, but many are unconfirmed, many have 
patches (but are not closed for some reason), and is hard for me to pick 
something.
