Welcome to KDE.
I hope Elisa can provide you a way to get started. At least, we will try to 
help you as much as we can.

Please do not forget that we are pretty busy and that we may need a couple 
days to answer you. If you try channels with more developers like the kde-
devel mailing list or the irc channels you may get answers faster than us.

Elisa is mainly using c++ and QML for the user interface. There is also some 
SQL and some javascript in the QML files. You should feel at home.

Elisa requires Qt5.10 and KF5 Frameworks in version 5.45 at least. This is due 
to the need to add missing features the fastest we can. Sorry for the extra 
complication for you.

I believe the easiest way to build an environment that will allow to work on 
Elisa is to use kdesrc-build (https://kdesrc-build.kde.org/) and follow this 
guide (https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source).
I never had time to integrate a recipe to build Elisa. This could be your 
first contribution.

You can also have a look at the list of tasks for Elisa (https://
phabricator.kde.org/project/board/193/). I have not yet properly sorted the 
one that would be best to get started. Just ask me and I will guide you.

In any case, let me know how it works for you.

Best regards
