Hi Mitul, Welcome to LyX!
It's great to hear you're interested in participating in GSOC 2014 with us. First of all, are you familiar with LyX itself as a user? If not, I would recommend start using it, and perhaps going quickly through the tutorial. That will give you an idea of its general structure and will help get you well-acquainted with insets, which are used throughout the program, and which are the main target of the project you are interested in. The second step is to get to know LyX's code base. In that respect, a good starting point is our bug tracker [1]. 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 [2]. Ask question on the developers list on how to proceed and be sure to check out the beginner developers FAQ [2]. Cheers, Stefano [1] http://www.lyx.org/trac/ [2] http://www.lyx.org/DevFAQ On Wed, Feb 26, 2014 at 5:30 PM, Mitul Modi <mitulmod...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I am Mitul Modi.
