Hi Fabio!

Sure! You are very welcome! What is your main area of interest? I.e., do you want to \
work on gui, on image algorithms or something else? There's plenty of fun stuff to do \
in Krita. Look at bugs.kde.org and look for Krita to find a long list of feature \
requests (and bugs, but you say your task is to work on a feature).

There are also some bigger features we want to work on for Krita 2.5:

* HDR painting: painting in 32 and 16 bit channel/floating point. The basics are \
there, but there is plenty to do: see meta bug \
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=292678. This is important for Blender's project \
mango as well!

* Smooth strokes. Right now, we have stroke smoothing, but for inking of comics it \
needs to be reimplemented: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=281267

* Action recorder: we need to investigate the current recording system in Krita and \
then work out something that makes it feasible to record every user action in Krita

* Painting assistants: we've got line, ellipse and perspective assistants and now \
it's time to have something even more advanced, maybe even a possibility to import \
blender meshes and use those as assistants.

There are more feature ideas on: \
http://community.kde.org/GSoC/2012/Ideas#Calligra_Krita -- that this is our list of \
ideas for students who want to participate in the Google Summer of Code doesn't mean \
others cannot start working on those things.

Apart from this mailing list, the other main project communication channel is irc: \
#krita on irc.freenode.org. For users. it's http://forum.kde.org/viewforum.php?f=136.

The first thing to do is build krita. Please check \
http://community.kde.org/Calligra/Building/Building_Calligra for info on how to build \
                krita. If you have trouble, join us on #krita so we can help you!
