I don't believe it's useful. While we should lower the barrier as much as
possible to allow new contributors to come in, we also expect new
contributors to have a minimum knowledge. People that never wrote a line of
python should start from the beginning.

Also, I personally expect all contributors to be able to communicate in
english and to read english documentation. If this is not the case, then
the potential contributor simply don't have the minimum level to start
contributing and trying to get him in the project would be a complete waste
of time for us and for him too. It will also mean that that particular
person would not be able to take part in the GTG community !!!

People who want to contribute to GTG should be able to communicate in
english, have programmation knowledge a minimum python experience. We will
not document what an object is in our documentation !

Status in Getting Things GNOME!: Confirmed

Bug description:
Several potential developers come by IRC or mail someone in the team, interested in helping out with gtg. 
However, we are not extremely easy to hack into for unexperienced developers: therefore, we are losing patches.

I think we should write a simple guide for that, and generate a web documentation of our functions (via http://docs.python.org/library/pydoc ? I'm not an expert on this matter).
That should make things seem more easy.
