HI Kunal, Welcome to LyX!
I am happy to hear you found Lyx interesting and would like to contribute to our project. Let me me remind you, though, that Google has not announced which organization it will accept this year (the announcement will be made on Feb 24, in 3 days from now). We are hopeful we will be selected again, but there is no certainty. That being said, if you want to get a head start I would encourage you to take a look at the project page for 2014 on our wiki [1] and start thinking about which project may interest you the most. To get familiar with LyX's code base, a good starting point is our bug tracker [2]. Several bugs are marked "easyfix" and provide excellent entry points to begin working on the code. Developers documentation is available on our wiki as well at [3]. Ask question on the developers list on how to proceed and be sure to check out the beginner developers FAQ [3]. Cheers, Stefano [1] http://wiki.lyx.org/GSoC/GSoCProjectIdeasFor2014 [2] http://www.lyx.org/trac/ [3] http://www.lyx.org/DevFAQ On Fri, Feb 21, 2014 at 5:04 AM, Kunal Jha <kunal94...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I am 2 year student, doing BTech in IT.
