I want to develop for GL-Status...
You are welcome! GL-Status is written in C++ using Qt4 GUI library and involves a great deal of OpenGL coding. If you feel confident in one of these areas don't hesitate to jump in. The author of this program uses Qt Creator for day to day (or week to week) work on GL-Status. But you can pick any IDE that suits you. Or if you're not a coder then you may help with translating the application. For this purpose using Qt 4 Linguist is the best way.
If you feel ready for a swim in the project you can find the project site here
