Hi,

welcome and thanks for your interest in coding for GIMP!

A calculator widget in an image editing application is something that
looks somehow odd to me personally. We already have a similar feature:
https://www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.8.html#simple-math-in-size-entries
Is it that what you mean? I couldn't find no bug reports for it, but
perhaps anyone else here knows about issues with this feature.

If you are looking for interesting or newcomer topics then I can
recommend our GEGL port (which is our most important topic for now)
or you take a look at our newcomer bugs:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=NEEDINFO&classification=Other&keywords=newcomers%2C%20&keywords_type=allwords&order=Importance&product=GIMP&query_format=advanced&short_desc=%20&short_desc_type=anywordssubstr

If you need assistance come to #gimp at irc.gimp.org.

Happy coding & greetings

Sven
