Hi,
Here is some feedback from my first steps toward working on the code.
I'll make another email about the tests issues with more details (I can
now make fail dozens of tests when stressing the system)

Thanks for volunteering! The process of getting involved in a project
like this isn't necessarily as clear as we wish. We're working on
organizing and there's so much to do, lots to juggle.
What I read in the wiki and the repo for getting involved is really well
organized and complete. I found everything I wanted to know for now.
As a developer, the first thing you should do is go to
https://git.gnu.io/snowdrift/snowdrift and follow the instructions at
the README. It's a help just to have you go through testing that. Let me
know how it goes.
The build went as smooth as butter, and from what I read on the blog, I
arrived just in time to avoid trouble ^^
For the tests I've seen issues when running the DB-setup script
(permissions denied to create a folder) but it doesn't seem to have
caused any related problem. I should investigate that though.
The first launch of the tests blocked on one the firsts tests (without
CPU or HDD activity). After maybe 10 minute, I had to Ctrl-C the run.
The second run (which required me to kill remaining stack instances, if
I recall correctly when had to do this) was a failure.
The third run was a success. So I found a flaky test, after running the
tests suite in a loop, I can re trigger sporadically the failure on the
same test.
I'll ask on #snowdrift if it's known and where can I document more I
details on those issues.
Note: I blessed your user on the site. You should have gotten a
notification about the honor-pledge. Once that's accepted, you can edit
wiki pages, comment freely etc.
I want to do everything I can to help you get comfortable and get to
where you are able to really contribute. Please please please do not
hesitate to let me know any questions.
Thank you for your warm welcoming, I'm really happy that you wrote me
about the project on Reddit comments.
