That is very much true. I have also started to contribute to pgadmin. It
takes some time to get familiar with the codebase assuming you have prior
knowledge of wxWidgets. A project like the ER diagramming tool in pgadmin is
not a small task to accomplish. Off the top of my head I can give you two
things you have to know for this.

- A good grasp of C++ and wxWidgets in general, including 2D drawing and
painting in wxWidgets . You could look at the GQD in version 1.9-dev 
- Understand how relations work in PG (look at pg_depend table)

Regards,
Gevik.
