Hi Kusum, Your enthusiasm is awesome. I am not a CMake admin so feel free to ignore me, but I think you're going about this upside-down. The only way to contribute to an Open Source project like CMake is to just start doing it. It's not like school or a job where a professor or manager will give you assignments and lay out goals and give you a grade (or promotion :)) at the end. There are tons of bugs in the bug tracker just waiting for someone with the time and energy to fix them. You can start to figure out which bugs are most important by looking at their priority, how active they are (how many responses from people saying "please oh please fix this bug it would save me 198321 hours/year!"), and how often they come up on the mailing list. Or, do you personally have problems with CMake, or have your own pet enhancement? Most people get started in Open Source because they want to solve their own problems. good luck and hth, tyler _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
