Seeking Mentorship for SOK-2020 for okular project

[Oliver Sander]

Hi Hitesh,

sorry for the delay.

> Can you please give me some small task to help me get started with development.

I suggest you try https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=412957 .  That one for one
type of annotation (your choice) should be reasonable straightforward.


> Also do i need to read documentation of all the classes in core folder.

You don't have to, but it won't hurt either.

> Can you also provide some sources which might be helpful in understanding the codebase.

There's not much that I am aware of.  I use the online Qt documentation at lot;
other than that it's mainly reading the source.

Best regards,
Oliver
