Hello, first of all, thanks a lot for your help offer, it's much appreciated! Now if you want to start working on Mahogany, the first thing to do is to get the sources from the cvs and build them. Currently you need VC++ 6 (7 doesn't work and I don't have it to test it, 5 might work but not sure) to do it but this probably wouldn't be a problem to you. Normally it should build out of the box but you'd still have to download/check out (the latter is preferred) and build both wxWindows and Mahogany which could take some time. Of course, please feel free to ask here if you have any problems. BTW, the above is, in fact, the second thing to do -- the really first thing to do is to subscribe to this mailing list. It's quite silent right now so don't be afraid to be overwhelmed by mail. Next, when you have Mahogany up and running, play a bit with it, look at what you like and what you don't like. Have a look at the files in doc/tech subdirectory -- they're out of date but could still be useful -- and maybe run doxygen (www.doxygen.org if you don't know it) using the config files from doc/doxygen to look at some auto-generated docs. Finally, choose a task or at least an area you'd like to work in. I.e. GUI, network code, PGP support and so on. To have a look at what I think should be done in the near future, look at doc/RoadMap.txt. It might be a bit cryptic for someone unfamiliar with Mahogany but some items should be clear. For example, I'd kill for a decent spell checker support in M and, moreover, it shouldn't be difficult to do -- but unfortunately I don't have time for it as there are other "small" things I want to fix first. Again, please ask if you need more information/help or if you have suggestions, ideas, whatever. Looking forward to hearing more from you!
