Hello, I am Siddhanjay Godre and I would like to contribute to BRL-CAD.
I am a Bachelor's 3rd year student currently studying CSE from India.
My skillset includes a good command over C and C++ , strong Data
Structures and Algorithms implementation skills and a decent
Geometrical background.
This is my first time contributing to an Open Source Organization so I
might require help regarding a few things.
For getting started I have already:
1. Downloaded and compiled the source code on a Linux machine.
2. Read the following documents and pages:
http://en.flossmanuals.net/contributors-guide-to-brl-cad/how-to-contribute/
http://svn.code.sf.net/p/brlcad/code/brlcad/trunk/HACKING
brlcad.org/wiki/Contributor_Quickies
Application_Development.pdf
3. Cleared most of my getting started doubts by reading last year's
pre-GSOC archived mails.
4. Familiarized myself with a few common MGED commands.
5. Read and understood the following code examples:
Shooting rays,Walking Geometry,Root Solving
6. Fiddled around a little with src/librt/primitives/*
There are still a few things which I am not clear about:
1. While reading the codes for primitives , I realized that they use a
lot on macros. Is there someplace where all these macros and their
functionalities are listed out or do I need to keep reading the header
files?
2. Should I consider taking up a task from "Contributor Quickies" or
some incomplete GCI task?
3. After completing a task do I submit it to mail list/IRC for review
or commit it directly to SVN ?
Cheers !!
