Thanks for this topic Tulio!

Yay cpp & Qt! I used Qt 4 in a personal open source project (a long time ago.) However, I have not participated in other's open source projects. I was also blocked by the feeling that I didn't have enough experience to contribute. Also, I didn't like the feeling that my time would get swallowed with a huge project.

Your ideas are helpful at removing the stress of starting!

Wow, just code open a PR! That's so liberating!

@fizzybuzzybeezy the commitment and time you devote is up to you, if you're not a maintainer of this project, people won't expect you to make contributions often and periodically. In fact, most of the people that contribute to projects I maintain do something one day and return weeks or months later, and that's fine, they're still helping the software and community grow, and are as welcome as the ones that appear daily!
