dear amit,

the first and foremost recommendation for people to implement something
into QE and any other package is to _read_ the sourcecode to get acquainted
with it. i.e. figure out the flow of control for simple (and not so
simple) jobs
that already work. that usually takes a while (and i don't mean a couple of
hours ;-) ).

if you feel ready to program something, you should check out the development
cvs and perhaps first try to implement some trivial enhancement, so you can
practice how to communicate your changes to the developers and learn how to
work off a moving target (i.e. a living cvs archive).

cheers,
    axel.
