Getting startedGetting started at coding is a matter of finding something to fix, and fixing it. Once you have fixed something, you will want to send in a patch. If you do that a few times, you may want to apply for an SVN account so you can fix things directly. You might be interested in having a look at our Mini Projects, which are some identified development efforts for which an existing VLC developer is willing to help a new developer in his progress. These Mini Projects generally don't require a great knowledge of VLC code. It is recommended that you join the vlc-devel mailing list, where all commits are archived. |
