Good, thank for your interest.

The goal of Anjuta is to make programming easier, especially for 
newcomers. We have tried to use commonly used tools so you don't need to 
use only Anjuta.

I think Anjuta is currently quite usable but there are always room for 
improvements. There is no well defined plan though, the direction is 
mainly defined by people writing some code, but there are some ideas here:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Anjuta/Roadmap

One of the first step is to make a small contribution. You can get 
anjuta from git and compile it from source. If you have any issues, ask 
for help on this mailing list or on the irc channel #anjuta on 
irc.gnome.org. Then, check the open bug list here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?query=product%3Aanjuta+
and try to fix one of them. Again, do not hesitate to ask questions when 
needed.


Regards,

Sébastien
