Welcome aboad :)

I guess there are many areas in krayon (formerly kimageshop) which could need 
a helping hand (well, there's lots to do to compete with Gimp :)

You can get daily snapshots as tarballs from ftp.kde.org, but it's a lot 
easier to let CVS care about patches and changes from multiple people. Just 
set CVSROOT correctly and cvs -z6 co koffice; make -f Makefile.cvs; 
../configure; make and you are ready.

You're free to use any development environment [or editor] you like. If you 
ask for a kdevelop project file, I'm afraid there might be none. Many people 
still simply work with a texteditor like vi or emacs :)

If you want your patches to be committed to the repository, you could either 
send them to this mailinglist in the beginning or ask for a CVS account.

Happy hacking,
