The best thing is to meet the other developers in IRC and talk directly with them. Here you can find a wiki page with some informations for new developers. Perhaps it's an good idea to ask for an wiki account and adding everything you are missing from that page: http://wiki.gimp.org/index.php/Users:Beginner_Developer%27s_FAQ > What I have done so far is download and compile babl, gegl and gimp > from git (gegl without libavcodec, libavformat and v4l, gimp without > ASCII art and webkit I think, both without documentation generation) > and it seems to work.

You can look for bug with the "gnome-love" keyword in the bugzilla: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=keywords%3Agnome-love+product%3A%22GIMP%22+ That are bug that should be easy to fix. I would recommend to 1. Look for a bug you like to fix. 2. Talk to the developers on IRC about the bug. 3. Start coding.
