Hi, I am a final year undergraduate of University of Moratuwa. I would like to contribute to Derby under GSoC 2012 but I'm just getting started with Derby. Out of the currently suggested ideas I am interested in the third idea, "code coverage on Derby and writing test cases". I have checked out the source and built Derby from source. Right now I'm going through the documentation and trying some examples to get familiar with Derby. If possible I would like to know some more details/resources regarding this project idea or any other possible ideas.
Thank You. Nufail.
