This depends on their coding skill and interest. the main idea must be * student will be able to develop some minimum software using foss tools , it can be a command line also. no need to have a rpm at the final stage * student must be able to use svn/cvs and get familiar with development process,(bug tracking etc) * they must be able to put and think the license file, This step is necessary as this will make a software "FOSS". * they must lean about the documentation and why it is needed. contribution can be done with translation also, also writing and inspiring other to use FOSS and develop is also a imp way to contribute,, -- ┌─────────────────────────┐ │ Narendra Sisodiya ( नरेन्द्र सिसोदिया ) │ Society for Knowledge Commons │ Web : http://narendra.techfandu.org └─────────────────────────┘ _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
