Hi Zachary,

As Bernd said, there are some ideas:

 - http://gpodder.org/documentation has a "Easy ways to contribute" list with 
non-coding tasks
 - http://wiki.gpodder.org/wiki/Contribute has mostly the same contents

Personally, I have not had time to work on these for some time now, so maybe 
you can help there:

 - http://wiki.gpodder.org/wiki/Functional_tests (List of tasks, instructions 
how to carry them out and expected behaviour for testing functions at release 
time or during development)
 - Search for YouTube videos, Podcasts, Web articles and Print articles and add 
them to http://wiki.gpodder.org/wiki/Media_Coverage
 - Have a look at https://bugs.gpodder.org/ and see if you can help triaging 
bugs.

Exactly. We don't yet have a way to configure it manually at runtime, as it's 
kind of hard to keep track of things like cover art downloads and file 
downloads and move things over the right way (imagine changing the download 
directory from your home folder to an external drive while a download is 
running).

Thanks,
Thomas
