Thanks! Great! Currently I have built the opencog repo thanks to the readmes, even if some tests fail (for example https://github.com/opencog/atomspace/issues/1748, where I still don't understand how to skip the database part or to configure it).
To say that I am a beginner in this field is an understatement, but I am well motivated to do something even insignificant or just to learn. I will read and try to learn as much as possible about this project. I hope not to disturb and, indeed to be able to make some contribution (if i can).
