Hi Kelly,

KOrganizer's code isn't *that* much of a beast, really. The KOPrefs stuff is 
technically quite advanced, but that doesn't make it scary.

Just to get started you could update the README (last updated in 2004) to get 
a hang of SVN and patching and that kind of stuff. If you do study 
KOrganizer's code a bit and get an understanding of how the bits work, 
writing that down would be a *great* service to developers that come after 
you (probably to yourself, too).

The code itself is remarkably consistently written. No weird indentation 
problems, formatted consistently. But it's under-documented, which can make 
it hard to figure out what goes where.

My advice: dive in, then come up for air and ask for help on #kontact. *Do* 
have an idea of what you want to do, though. And start small.
