Probably the best way, will be start helping with one of the many tasks we already know there are pending,<br>like fixing a bug or implementing a improvement.<br>The community is very active, but there are not so much hands as needed.<br>
Do you have a working Sugar environment? This is your first task.<br>If is already done, I suggest you take one activity and look for the bugs opened.<br>We have two different trac instances in use, for historical reasons, then I use a index page <a href="http://dev.laptop.org/~gonzalo/bugs_index.html">http://dev.laptop.org/~gonzalo/bugs_index.html</a><br>
to see the tickets pending by activity.<br>If you found a task you want implement, send a mail a sugar-devel mailing list, <br>the maintainer can help you to check if is correct, he knows the code and the design decisions made.<br>
Is this useful for you?<br>Are you looking for C/C++ tasks? Most of the Sugar code is python, but may be we can found you anything to do :)<br><br>Gonzalo<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/8/8 mustafa nematallah <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ahmed_nematallah@hotmail.com">ahmed_nematallah@hotmail.com</a>></span><br>
