Search for the module you find interesting (probably an exciting module would be easier to get students attention), choose a bug that fit's your needs and code. Also provide multiple patches to get maintainers (if it's a big feature) and follow maintainers advices.
If you have more questions feel free to contact this mailing list or the module you want to hack if it's specific. Good luck! Luis _______________________________________________ gnome-love mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-love
