For development you really need to look at the stuff in the git repository. Of importance are the three git repositories babl / gegl / gimp, which need to be built and installed (in your own prefix, not (!) parallel to the system installed babl/gegl/gimp versions). For gtk+ and glib development code the system stuff *might* be too old, we have debian testing as a rule-of-thumb of the versions we depend on. A lot of other information is available at http://developer.gimp.org/faq.html and the surrounding pages. Probably does not answer *all* questions but hopefully enables a start. > It looks like a lot of code... It is. But it is IMHO really good code... :) If you drop by in #gimp on irc.gimp.org (aka gimpnet) ask questions (and wait patiently, it is not really a real-time-response channel) a lot of questions could be answered "live" if you manage to catch the right persons (which is not too hard if you ask specific questions).
