Welcome and bem-vindo, JoÃo! The next release (1.7.4) is on the doorsteps, after that the usual development process will kick in again. Checking out git.git, getting to know the build process and reading Documentation/SubmittingPatches in git.git are good first steps for a prospective contributor. If you do this and follow the list then ideas for your first fixes and contributions will come up automatically. Getting a few patches accepted in git.git is not required before a GSoC application but its the best way of getting to know the project and the (developers') community (and for us to get to know you). It can also give you an idea about what area of Git to focus on for GSoC - if you still want to stick with us by then ;) Cheers, Michael -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
