</div>Hi Vijju,<br>
<br>
First let me thank you for your desire to contribute to Scribus. This is<br>
really appreciated.<br>
<br>
Understanding the Scribus code base is not easy, despite our efforts to<br>
comment much of the code. That being said, here's a list of basics that may<br>
help you to decide whether you want to contribute or not:<br>
<br>
1) Scribus is written in C++.<br>
<br>
2) Scribus uses the Qt 4 framework.<br>
<br>
3) Since the major goal of Scribus is to create print-ready files, you should<br>
have some basic knowledge about PostScript and PDF (specs are publicly<br>
available).<br>
<br>
4) The Scribus file format is based on XML, so some XML knowledge seems to be<br>
handy.<br>
<br>
5) Unless you plan to work on some internals, like, for instance, support for<br>
Indic or CJK scripts, it might as well suffice to read the developer<br>
documentation shipped with Scribus or on <a href="http://docs.scribus.net" target="_blank">docs.scribus.net</a>, especially the<br>
sections on plugins.<br>
<br>
6) If you're more into scripting, please feel free to explore the Python<br>
Scripter interface of Scribus.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
