How to start helping?

Postby burlo » 05 Oct 2008 19:52

How does one get involved?
I'm mainly a .net windows developer but have some *NIX c-coding experience.

I suppose I could just pick a bug and try to fix it, but that seems suboptimal.
Is there a project leader who assigns tasks?

Anyone want to clue me in?

There is no project leader, so not possible...

However, we mainly need help in the windows integration, and in many places... Just tell us what you want to work on, and we'll find you some work :D

Hmm. Does this mean VideoLAN might have its first Windows developer? :P Me wish CloudStalker was smart enough to help. :-|

Integra wants to contribute to Videolan by updating the user documentation of VLC Media Player and, maybe, some other products. Whose permission do I take, and how do I go about it?

You don't really need anyone permission, but if you want to help, you are welcome and you can contact me to see what you can do.
