Some source trees can be rather large and daunting. Don't let this keep you from doing work on it. Most of the time the area of the tree you'll need to conentrate on to fix or add something is actually rather small. Sometimes it is hard to find just where you need to be working but the more you do it the easier it gets.
Not reinventing the wheel is also good, but thats been stated above:)
Over the last two years, our school (Ohio University) has put some nice desktops in every dorm room for the students. Most are 500MHz celerons with 128M RAM and beefy hard drives. Unfortunately, people like me who live off campus are left out in the cold:(.
The wxWindows interface is closer to MFC than GTK and on most Unix systems it uses GTK. Perhaps it would save some time instead of starting from scratch.
