Thanks for looking at this. I think it is very important to make it easy to get involved.

Playing with openchange tools (create profile, openchangeclient, > exchange2mbox etc.) It would be good if the tutorials were broken up, so they aren't too large. I'd prefer to see several small tutorials than one very long one. It doesn't matter if some tutorials are only a few minutes. Some ideas: * a tour of the codebase, pointing out the apidox, different libraries, examples, command line tools, and some of the resources we have (svn, trac, wiki, buildbot) * use of OCPF (which is a really, really powerful idea) * a description of how libmapi works (IDL, building structures, calling down, getting responses) and how the proxy works * the design of the server. * when playing with openchange tools, perhaps try to relate them to what the user sees in outlook, and what is happening with the underlying protocol (e.g. for mapiprofile, you could discuss the profile concept, what each element of the profile is called in outlook, and what happens with the NSPI protocol). When we have all of this, I'll try to come up with more ideas :-) Brad _______________________________________________ devel mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.openchange.org/listinfo/devel
