Re: Planner-list Planer Development

[Mario Mol <koyote task com br>]

Maurice, 

thanks for ask so fast and so objective, this gave me more gas to work on it!

Actually i havent seen any bug yet, but i would like to see new features on planner. But I will try to fix some bugs to get started.

I've just subscribed on dev list.

I have left windows at my desktop more than 5 years ago and nowdays i'm a ubuntu user.

I will find out on bugzill but if you have some easy erros to get fix i will look over it.

I have more than 10 years on java/j2ee/c++/php/oracle and others languages, not in gtk+, but i think that will not be a problem =)

I will mount my dev environment and if i find any doubts i will post on dev-list!

Best Regards!

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.

Regards,
Maurice.
