Hi all, if this is the wrong place then apologies in advance.

I want to start contributing code. I've read through some of the stuff here (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/SoftwareDevelopment), but would like someone to ask a few questions.

Any recommendations on best place to start?

From http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/DevProjects:

Coordinating and submitting your work

Once you pick out a task:

* Look at the source code and think about how you would implement the task.
* Read about the BOINC software and development process.
* Communicate with the area owner or David Anderson, and reach agreement on exactly what you're going to do and how. Don't start coding until you do this.
