We'd love to have you contribute to this project. We will try to identify a specific task for your team. First, I think we need more information from you to make this successful: * please tell us more about your development environment -- OS, IDE, etc * what is your experience with source version management tools? svn, git, etc * your semester ends "by November" meaning the end of November? There are many references to open source participation available. Here's one that gives a perspective from a participant's viewpoint that you may find helpful. http://blog.cobia.net/cobiacomm/2013/03/13/open-source-community-participation/ -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MzK "Nothing will work unless you do." -- Maya Angelou
