Hi David, I'm not involved in meld development, but I'm involved in other open source projects. First, as a meld user, thanks for your interest in improving meld! Second, I think it's great that you have a goal in mind, which is the feature that you described. Third, when wanting to join the development of an open source project, I think it's interesting (but not necessary) to talk a little bit about your background. As for specific questions, what is your programming experience? What is your OS? Have you worked on any other open source software? Are you familiar with git?
