The first thing is to subscribe to the planner-dev mailing list. http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/planner-dev-list The way most people get started is by fixing a problem that has been annoying them personally or implementing a feature on their wish list. For new features you may want to discuss them on the mailing list first. Another option is to look through bugzilla for bugs that seem doable (for instance the ones with the gnomelove keyword) and that look interesting. Crashes are usually easy to solve once you can reproduce them. I can try to find a few bugs for you if you want. A third option and one that does not require any programming skills is to update the user manual. This is one thing that is long overdue. Once you've made some changes that you'd like to have included, you can send a patch to the planner-dev list. If it passes a review it will be applied to the code in subversion. Have you been using Planner on Windows or on Linux? For development Linux is an easier platform to work with because the MSYS environment that we have on Windows is rather slow. But it's easy enough to set up the environment on Windows if you prefer (http://live.gnome.org/Planner/Windows). Do you have previous programming experience with GTK+? Don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have about the planner code.
