Hey Laurent, Glad to hear you want to help out!
The first step that I usually take is figuring out what component I want to work on. This is usually based around what I have the most familiarity with, or what part I'm interested in learning more about. Trac has nice features for filtering down by component, so for example I usually work on stuff with the test framework, so I'd use something like this: http://code.djangoproject.com/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&group=component&component=Testing+framework&milestone=1.3&order=priority Then once you find a ticket that looks interesting, I'd start with the triage process. The contributing docs are good to read to figure out what style of patches are good, and what the triage stages look like: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/internals/contributing/#submitting-patches However, as a quick primer, I'd just look for tickets that are "Accepted", and if they have a patch, review them. If you think they are ready to go into trunk (have docs & tests, good style), feel free to mark them as "Ready For Checkin". This shows a core committer patches that should be checked in soon. If you find something without a patch, I'd go ahead and confirm that the issue is real, and then go ahead and try to fix it! Looking through Django's source and fixing things is usually good fun. In the spirit of Wikipedia, "Be Bold". Cheers, Eric On Sun, Oct 3, 2010 at 9:11 PM, Laurent Luce <[email protected]>wrote: > Hello, > > I added the localflavor for Belgium as my first contribution.
