Re: [gnome-love] First post to this list and request for help to start a project

Hi Paolo, welcome on board :-p.

You will find some guides on how to start contributing to GNOME:
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeLove
The GNOME wiki is definitely the first place to look, as 
developer.gnome.org is mostly out of date, and there's still no 
information about what is still true and what is not.

Here's an overview of the GNOME platform:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/guides/platform-overview/platform-overview.html

But as you want to code your own project, you will need to learn coding 
in GTK:
http://gtk.org/ and its GTK+ 2.0 tutorial is the place to go

If you prefer to code that kind of application using some shell script 
magic, you can also give a look to zenity (may be easier for you kind of 
project, I think):
http://www.linuxmanpages.com/man1/zenity.1.php

Hope this helps ;-)
Au revoir :-p

Luis
