Message 37003 - Posted: 25 Feb 2011, 2:24:50 UTC

Hello everyone,

I have been running BOINC to work on the malaria control project for several months now. I am now in my second course in computer science and I am studying C++. I do not have much experience outside the classroom but I would like to help out with BOINC and try and fix some of the easier bugs that other members don't have time for.

Does anyone have any advice on how to get started with the source code and the process I would take in preparing to tackle some of the bugs?

Thank you very much

For a list of things needed to happen, check http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/DevProjects. Then decide what you can tackle.

If you think about adding to the client/adjusting/making it into your own likeness, then compiling it, check http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/CompileClient.
