entry level dev?

[Eric Richie]

Sure!  We welcome anyone who's interested.  A lot of people have used Adium as a way to get involved in a larger project.  You don't need to worry about any time commitments or anything like that. It's purely volunteer.  Any time you want to spend working on things is appreciated.

Do you have any specific areas that you think you might be interested in learning more about? Or any specific ideas you might have been considering?  I ask because for most people, the best way to get motivated to work on something like this is to dive into an aspect that really interests them.

You've already made the first step by finding the dev list.  If you haven't already, I'd encourage you to check out http://trac.adium.im/wiki/Development where you find links to things like instructions on how to set up Mercurial and getting a copy of the source to play with.  Give that stuff a look and feel free to ask us any questions you might have.

We'd be glad to have you!

-Eric

I could probably chip in a few hours a week. I don't  know if that would be enough to help or not... I won't be offended if you guys aren't interested.
