Holy shit. Thats what I call jumping in at the deep end. X servers are particularly difficult to hack on and debug. > However, I wouldn't have a clue where to start on the codebase - Well without a specific task in mind starting is *very* difficult. So first step is finding a feature you want to add or a bug you want to fix. Or maybe just do a code audit and clean up the cruft. > would someone be able to give me > a bit of help next codefest we have? I'm no stranger to coming into large code bases and hacking on them (with the exception of gcc which was completely impenetrable). I'll do what I can to get you started. > (Do we have any Xgl/compiz hackers here in Sydney?) None that I know of. Yet.
