Hi Alexandre,
Welcome aboard. I would suggest start with small patches and make your way 
to bigger and better improvements as your skill improves.

If your strength is in bitmaps, you might want to look at the gutils 
directory and do a diff between 20120731 and today's code in that directory.
There are still a few functions in there that do a lot of assumption, and 
it would be good to improve the code so that it fails cleanly if given bad 
data. For example a bad file, given, then reverse all memory allocated, and 
clean house before exiting. The bmp function is one example that is still 
not touched much yet but could be fortified further.
Once you have an idea of what happens in gutils, it will e easier to move 
to other directories and do further improvments.
