New contributors are very welcome and we will happily guide you. Is there a
specific part of Kdenlive that you are interested to work on?
As a start I would recommand working on a small bug or feature that does not
require deep knowledge of Kdenlive's code. I am currently on vacation until the
16th of june so cannot help much until I come back. One thing that comes to my
mind is for example the Project settings dialog that has a tab listing the used
files in the project. This has to be rewritten to work with the new model/view
structure of the project bon. Also linked to this the Archive feature that
needs a rewrite.
But maybe there are smaller tasks to begin. If noone steps up, I can provide
more details after the 16th.
Anyways welcome and hope to exchange more in the next weeks.
