Pointers to start contributing

 

Hello,

I've recently started using KiCAD and I absolutely love it. Since it is
open-source, I though I'll contribute to the project in which ever way I
can.

I have been using Orcad, Altium and Eagle during my career as an
Electronics Engineer and then I had to work in Software. Therefore, I'm
well versed in C, C++ and Python too.

I've already built the project referring the documentation. I'm planning to
go through the source code to just understand the architecture. Is there an
architectural document for KiCAD? If there is anyone who has time to give
me any pointers, it would be greatly appreciated.

You all have done an amazing job!

Thanks!
Best Regards,
Pradeepa Senanayake.
