beginner development

[Wesley Pegden]

hello,
I'm a loyal linux user new to the development side of the open source 
community and looking to contribute to that which has given me so much. 
 Having looked at your beginners project page, I was thinking about 
trying to do some warning squelching, and maybe some bug patrol as well. 
 Are there any specific projects suitable for someone unfamiliar with 
GCC's codebase like me that you would like to assign me to?  My 
programming has gotten a little rusty over the last years, but I want to 
work hard to help out the project.  I also understand I need to fill out 
some forms and submit those.  Are those available for download?
Thanks for your time, and I hope I can help,
Wesley Pegden

http://gcc.gnu.org/ is your friend.  You've got all sorts of info on the
technical how's of contributing.  Also, you've got a projects page
(http://gcc.gnu.org/projects/) that has tons of stuff there for beginners.
Have fun.

Kris

Search the mailing list for "copyright assignment form".
You will find <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-09/msg00676.html>.
