I don't know much about the project, but I hope this small disucssion on IRC will point you in the right direction [1]. You should also try asking Shawn and the JGit community about this. > Besides that, and even if I don't enter GSOC, I want to help in an > Open Source project, so how can I help now?

We don't have an official bug tracker, but there are plenty of small tasks you can pick up from threads on the mailing list [2], or from various distributions' bug trackers (like Debian BTS). Idally, it would be nice if you work on a feature/ bugfix that you'd personally like to see. -- Ram [1]: http://colabti.org/irclogger/irclogger_log/git-devel?date=2011-03-31#l323 [2]: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/170670 -- 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
