Well, mentors are mentors really. They provide the direction and answer questions, but expect you to be learning fast, commincating regarding road blocks you run into and, as Alexia pointed out, getting the work done. Test #1. Compile all of the prerequisites. You are supposed to have build system working by the time coding starts and understand basics of Git (checking out, branching, updating local branch from upstream, committing, pushing). Test #2. Study how the code is organized. wiki.gimp.org provides an overview. Feel free to ask additional questions. Test #3. Pick a couple of minor issues from bugzilla (feel free to discuss, which ones) and provide patches. The outcome: both of us will understand if you are up to the task, so that you don't quit the project in the future. We use IRC as the main communication channel.
