Hi Siddharth! I'm CC'ing the mailing list because we like to keep all summer of code discussions in the public for drizzle. This makes it easier for mentors and other students who are interested in drizzle projects to see what is going on.

Jay has a few good blog posts on that but the best one to start with is: http://www.joinfu.com/2008/08/getting-a-working-c-c-plusplus-development-environment-for-developing-drizzle/ Once you have the source code and can run the test suite, its best to hop on the #drizzle channel on IRC then. For the replication project, I'm the potential mentor and my handle on IRC is posulliv. For the memory engine project, Brian is the mentor and he is #krow on IRC. -Padraig > Regards > Siddharth > -- > Siddharth Prakash Singh > http://www.spsneo.com > _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
