Xfce4-dev Digest, Vol 158, Issue 7

[Francesco Pasa]

Hi,

I totally agree that I need to start from something small. I have a little
experience with gtk, but not much. I am used to look at other people's
code, tough.

I see in the list that one small app that I could start with is
xfce4-screenshooter, which seems to have nobody in charge for the
translation. It's a bit sad to see we do not have many people...

For orientation I only need some infos like: how am I supposed to commit my
changes and the like. I see there is a git repo, shoud I just clone it and
commit or do I need some sort of account? Do you develop in a specific
branch?

Thanks a lot, best,
Francesco
