Getting started?

[Clint]

Duncan,

Do you have any suggestions on where I can get started? What
components should I start getting my head wrapped around?

Hey Clint,

Sorry about not getting back to you until now -- I've been in Boston
on business for a week.

As for how you can get started, let's see...
* Here's the current development roadmap:
http://code.google.com/p/pecha-pub/wiki/RoadMap
* All work is prototypical at this point, thus
* Most contributions will come in the form of plugging code into the
GUI prototype

If you want to get up to speed, I recommend the following:
* Familiarize yourself with Glade 3
* Maybe read up on some GTK+ basics
* Get a running Ubuntu 7.10 (or greater) desktop instance (either a
native install or one running in a VM)
* Check out the source code (http://code.google.com/p/pecha-pub/
source/checkout)
* Read up on PyGTK (in particular, googling for blog posts about
PyGTK with Glade, preferably Glade 3)

Let me know if you have any questions!
