# Development

If you wish to become involved in the development of Recoll, you are very much welcome, please send me an email.

Apart from general development for additional functionality or bug fixes, the following tasks are waiting for you:

- A better GUI design (both the ergonomy and the appearance).
- More translations for the GUI messages (there are relatively few messages, and it's easy to do with the Qt tools). English, French, Russian and Ukrainian versions currently exist. Contact me for directions if needed (or just use Qt Linguist if you know it already).
- More support for the more advanced Xapian concepts like relevance feedback.
- An interactive indexing configuration tool.
- More filters for less common or less obviously useful file types.
- Integration with the KDE desktop.
- Integration with some mail user agent. We need a way to jump from a message preview to the message in thread context inside the MUA.
- Etc. :)
