Hi all,
I want to start working on kernel development and as per everyone's
guidance I am starting with Janitor project. I am not able to
understand the TODO list on the janitor project site.
It would be great if someone can explain me how to get started and
actually work on something.
This is just general advice, but like I've found with adopting any new
open source project (or any large codebase for that matter) the only
_real_ way to make progress is to sit down at your computer with a lot
of determination, and "bang your head against the wall" for a little
bit. It always helps to have a clearly defined goal, like "make a driver
work" or "implement this new algorithm". Every new project I've taken on
has been like this, and kernel development is no different. "Just do it"
is a lot easier said than done :D
It also helps to have a good grasp of operating systems concepts (about
the level an undergrad OS course will give you) before starting. Usually
people on the right IRC channels, or on mailing lists are very helpful,
especially once they see you put some pseudo-useful code down.
thanks,
/H
