Hello everybody,
my name is Jan, I am a backend developer. I'd like to get to know BIRD's codebase.
My main motivation is to improve my C language skills. I used BIRD some time ago and am interested in networking.
I started reading the Coder's Doc 2.0. Do you accept contributions from people outside of CZ.NIC? If you do, what one can do to contribute? Any tasks suitable for newcommers?
Hello Welcome, we generally accept external contributions. The process is usual, by sending patches to the mailing list, but sometimes it takes me longer to respond, so do not be discouraged and remind me. What tasks are suitable for you is a difficult question, depends on what you are interested in. For example, i would like if someone wrote unit tests for lib/ip.h and lib/net.h (like there are for most other code in lib/), but i am afraid that is too dull task to offer. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
