Marcin,

I got an email from Curt Hibbs saying that you are interested in joining the FreeRIDE development team. What I suggest you do is to first subscribe to the FreeRIDE mailing lists. You can do that from the following page:
https://rubyforge.org/mail/?group_id=31

I would also sugest that you introduce your self on the devel mailing list.

Then with respect to where you can contribute i think we have a lot to do in our plate today.  below is a couple of suggestions:

- the current version in the CVS repo uses Fox 1.4 and FXRuby 1.4. Ideally we should move to
Fox 1.6 and FXRuby 1.6 as well as FXScintilla 1.71
- FreeRIDE is notably flakier on Windows than on Linux so some debugging and bug fixing on Windows is more than welcome. If you are a Windows developer this is a nice starting point
- The debugger doesn't run very well on Windows. I think it would require some rewrite (it currently uses dRuby which is a nice solution on paper but again it suffers some weaknesses on Windows)
- An integrated documentation plugin (we just have a couple of Web pages for now..)

I would suggest that you first send us your contribution in the form of patches that i will commit in the CVS repo.

Thanks again for your help.

Laurent
