Jakob, Thanks for your interest and welcome to the mailing list! Yes, the NewbieProjects page, as with much of the mesa documentation, is a bit dated. Before I can really tell you where to start, it would be good to have a bit of background:
1) What graphics hardware do you have access to? That will influence what you can work on. :-) 2) What kind of graphics experience do you have? Have you ever written a program that uses OpenGL? 3) Do you have any compiler experience? If not, that's ok, but be warned that you might be getting some. ;-) 4) Is there a particular area you like to work on? If you have something in particular that might help guide what you do. If you don't have any particular area, that's just fine. The only real firm requirement to work on mesa is a decent working knowledge of C. Beyond that, there are a number of different projects that one could work on that require varying levels of skill and/or experience. These include writing tests, adding compiler optimizations, or even hooking up simple extensions. On Sun, Apr 10, 2016 at 12:45 PM, Jakob Sinclair < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi!
