Basic advice - use what you are most comfortable with. I do most of my development on Linux, with a command-line terminal. If you're happier using an IDE, or on a different OS, then use that. For most things, it doesn't really matter. The main exception is when you're implementing an agent MIB module, where you need to pull data from the underlying system. This *does* tend to be very O/S-specific. But most of the client-side stuff, the main agent framework, and the library code should be more-or-less O/S independent. I seem a bit confused at the moment considering a few options such as Windows with Cygwin or MSVC and Linux (any flavor) with gcc. Linux/gxx is probably the core development environment for most of the development team. But there will be some who naturally work in a different setup. Don't worry too much about it - go for what works best for you. Whatever you come up with will be tested/tweaked to work with other systems anyway.

Re: Working on net-snmp
Dave, The level of detail was less. Sorry for that. Ok. Coming to the point, I am a computer science graduate mainly working on C/C++/Java programming language projects for nearly three years. My passion was always to contribute a little bit to the opensource softwares. You might ask why I chose net-snmp? Well, the company I work for develops a SNMP subagent for major operating systems. So, I came to know of net-snmp which happens to be SNMP main agent. This might also provide me a good insight of how net-snmp works behind the scenes. Hope this is good enough for the details you might need?

OK - so you're looking for some idea about what you might do with/for the project - rather than wanting assistance with a particular task that you've already got. Is that correct? What O/S setups do you have access to? One possible task might be to look at some of the MIBs that are only supported on selected environments, and look at porting them to another O/S. That would typically involve discovering how the necessary information could be retrieved from the target O/S, and merging this in with the existing code for that MIB. Or see if there's a MIB that isn't currently supported, and look at implementing that. (Which is similar to the above, but would involve the SNMP/MIB side too) Another option might be to look through the list of feature requests (found under the 'ticket' section of the project's S/F site), and see if there's anything that catches your interest there. Or if you were feeling really keen, have a look through the 'bugs' tickets, and see if you could tackle some of those. That would really make you friends among the core development team! If I've misunderstood what you're looking for - or if you've got an idea about what you'd like to work at, but would need some guidance/advice - just let us know, and we'll try to help.
