Hehe, agreed :D

I'd say, start with something relatively easy to get used to the code 
structure, how things work in Traverso and get the general design concept.

A suggestion for you to work on: Custom Track background colors.

Add a new button to the Track Manager dialog (using qt's designer) named 
'track color' or just 'color' and make it show Qt's color selection dialog 
when clicked() (example code can be found in the thememodifierdialog).
The selected color will then become the tracks background color, overriding 
the default theme color.
Once that works, make it so that this custom color is stored in the 
project.tpf file, and restored on project load.

This way you'll learn a bit about how Traverso deals with GUI and data (core) 
separation, how the GUI reacts on data changes (signals and slots), and how 
this data is (re)stored.

My preferred code editor is QtCreator, it has the designer component nicely 
integrated. 

If you have any question or difficulties understanding how things work, don't 
hesitate to ask.

You can send the patches to me directly for evaluation, even if it's only 
partially finished, and you want feedback on it.

Thanks and looking forward to your work!
