That's totally fine. There is no need to rush, and we have plenty of
small tasks you can do to get into the code. If you need help, just
send a mail to the mailing list or join me/us in #semanticscuttle on
freenode. If you have jabber/xmpp, you might add cw...@cw... to
your contact list.

Btw, the mailing list is on 
https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=semanticscuttle-devel

You should at first get familiar with SemanticScuttle itself - download
it, install it and get it to work on your own machine.

Since you are very new, you might implement a small feature request:
> "Make default privacy configurable"
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3164348&group_id=211356&atid=1017433

The steps to take are:
1. Find out what the things are needed to do to implement the feature
2. Look at the code and see what needs to be done where to do it
3. Write that up and send it to the mailing list. We can discuss it then
4. Create your own feature branch (i.e. "configurable-privacy") from
   master and implement it in there
5. Push the branch to sourceforge so I can review it.
6. If everything is fine, I will merge it into the master branch

If you find out that that's not your thing, you could help at
other places, i.e. the documentation.
