Hi again,
I have revised my possible feature enhancements to the following after the 
reading the blog. :)

    Using pictures as screen-saver(#1112)
    Captions in Sideshows(#1592)
    Sideshow music(#1557)
    Video Playback inside Shotwell(#2820)

I think I have chosen features which have some common base.

I also wrote a basic code which implements a music playback in Shotwell and 
attached the patch files to the ticket tracker.( I am not sure how to submit  a 
bug patch in Trac ).

Its pretty basic, but I just want to make sure, the basics is write before 
implementing the whole thing.
I have some doubts about the settings and how it is implemented.

A UI mockup( even a hand-drawn) would point me in the right direction.
Also I was wondering, if I could get in contact with any one of the main 
developers via IRC or IM,since a chat would be better for communication than a 
mailing list.

Regards,
Sriram
