Re: Interested in development

Welcome!  As Sam mentioned you can check out our bug server and find out what needs to be worked on.

You should also subscribe yourself to the gnome-love mailing list (go to http://mail.gnome.org/ (read the code of conduct))  It is a mailing list to ask questions on the GNOME stack.  You can also go here:

http://live.gnome.org/JoinGnome

For general information.

Thanks for taking an interest, GNOME's greatest resource is our volunteers and we hope that you'll get something from your contributions as we would with yours!

To learn specifically about gnome-shell, you'll need to understand it's pre-requisites and how the platform works.  Specifically, start with GObject. 

Read everything here:

Thanks,

sri
