This page contains links to tasks that are considered relatively easy. Please note that we might forget to keep it up to date, so if all the listed tasks are fixed, ping us on the #xfce-dev IRC channel (on Freenode) and we'll add a few more.
Quick reminders:
The code sits on http://git.xfce.org/
The proper way to make a patch is to use git format-patch (see this excellent and short tutorial)
We're here to help! Talk to us on IRC #xfce-dev.
Redesign the Screenshooter imgur windows
Requires: C, GTK+
Difficulty: * *
Contact: sidi
We now have imgur support in our Screenshooter, and would like to add a few options to the existing GUI to make the tool really convenient for developers and not too cluttered at the same time. This task mostly involves basic GTK+ programming, and a few calls to other existing programs. The code base does not require a deep knowledge of Xfce's inner workings.
Update an Autotools patch for the Quicklauncher plugin
Requires: basic Autotools, Git
Difficulty: *
Contact: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7015
This task is very simple. You need to update an existing patch by following Mike's comment in the bug report. You first need to get the code and patch, and to re-do the changes in the patch, but taking Mike's comments into account. Then, use git format-patch to make a new patch and submit it to the report.
