[Florian Boucault <florian@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Viacheslav,

It is very nice to hear about your interest in contributing!
There is a list of tasks that need completion in the source tree in the
file named 'TASKS' :) What we are doing currently is matching up the
feature set of Moovida 1.0 (which has the same user interface). If you
are using Ubuntu, you can try it out easily (apt-get install moovida).

One thing not on that list that I think would be extremely useful and
fun would be to write one 'content plugin', that is something allowing
the user to browse web content. A very cool website, and not too hard to
start with, is TED [1].

Let me know what you think,

Florian

ps: I forwarded that discussion to the elisa mailing list to which you
should subscribe
