I don't believe it's useful. While we should lower the barrier as much as possible to allow new contributors to come in, we also expect new contributors to have a minimum knowledge. People that never wrote a line of python should start from the beginning.
Also, I personally expect all contributors to be able to communicate in english and to read english documentation. If this is not the case, then the potential contributor simply don't have the minimum level to start contributing and trying to get him in the project would be a complete waste of time for us and for him too. It will also mean that that particular person would not be able to take part in the GTGÂ community !!! People who want to contribute to GTG should be able to communicate in english, have programmation knowledge a minimum python experience. We will not document what an object is in our documentation !

Status in Getting Things GNOME!: Confirmed Bug description: Several potential developers come by IRC or mail someone in the team, interested in helping out with gtg. However, we are not extremely easy to hack into for unexperienced developers: therefore, we are losing patches. I think we should write a simple guide for that, and generate a web documentation of our functions (via http://docs.python.org/library/pydoc ? I'm not an expert on this matter). That should make things seem more easy. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~gtg Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~gtg More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
