Re: [gnome-love] Contributing to Evince

[Lasse Schuirmann <lasse schuirmann gmail com>]

Hi,

evince has bugs that are marked for newcomers, the label is (surprise
surprise) "gnome-love".

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=gnome-love;query_format=advanced;keywords_type=allwords;bug_status=UNCONFIRMED;bug_status=NEW;bug_status=ASSIGNED;bug_status=REOPENED;bug_status=NEEDINFO;product=evince

I got started with some easy bugs, the maintainer of the project
pointed me at those. So if you want to get your hands dirty, go ahead
and try to solve an easy bug. Other ways of getting involved are
writing documentation or translating things. Every contribution and
every person - you :) - are appreciated.

In any case I'd suggest you hang out on IRC, I think they have an
#evince channel. If you ask your questions there I'm sure you'll get
some more, and more specific, answers. I'm sure they're welcoming to
any newcomer :) If you want to get started on documentation there's a
#docs channel where you can ask.

Greetings,

Lasse
