[Docky] Where should I start

[fazil]

Hi
I have been using docky for a while. I wanted to be part of this
project. Where do I start?
Currently I have some experience working in C,C++(Windows) and
Cobol(Mainframes) . I also use Inkscape, Gimp and blender.

Docky is written in C# (on Mono), so I don't know if that will be easy
for you to learn but if you want to help with the 'core' of Docky or
with writing Docklets you will need to learn that. Supposedly you can
write plugins in any Mono-based language, but I have never tried it so
your mileage may vary (quite a bit). In theory, all of them compile
down to CIL so they should all work.

If you want to write helpers, those can be in any language that has
DBus bindings. We provide both Python and C# classes to help you out
with this. I believe all of our current helpers are written in
Python.

If you want to make a new theme, that is quite easy. Just make some
images, tar them up and away you go!

Check our wiki out for more information on all of this:
