RE: [Bitpim-devel] Newbie developer questions

[Derek J. L. <dla...@de...>]

Looks likes that python site is definitely a good starting point. I'll also
take a look through the archives and see if I can find a small project to
try and tackle. I'm not sure what exactly I'd like to add to my resume, I'd
like see BitPim the killer cell app like everyone else I imagine. In
addition to maybe working with the UI, I'm really hoping at some point I can
get some new animations and vibrating ringers on the phone. I've been
playing a little with CMX Studio, but I'd love to get one of the Verizon
backdrops off the phone to take a look at.

The one thing it may take a little while to realise is that Python is
deceptively simple.

The bitpim-cvs-checkins mialing list gives you every commit, so that tells
you what code is actually changing and who did it.

I do post a list of little projects that need to be done every few months
to this list.  There should be something in the archives.  In general try
and find a small self contained thing until you get familiar with the
codebase and way of thinking.

Then suggest an area that interests you.  For example some people care about
importing addressbook and calendar, others about printing, others about
user interface, others about specific phone models.  Being somewhat
mercenary
about it, if you wanted to add something to your resume, what would it be?
