Re: [tor-dev] Tor dev help

T,

I'm interested in helping you guys with Tor development. I don't really care what I work on, except I do not support .onion websites (though I am willing to be convinced otherwise) so I would prefer not to participate directly in their development. I have plenty of experience with writing code for networks and for various calculations, as well a few programs for file handling. Yeah, I'm familiar with git, I've used it before on several projects. I think for now I'm going to stick with Tor networking, for the time being. I've already got Tor up and running in a vm on my machine. Should I also try to contact dgoulet (assigned to bug triage for the week) as well as taking look at those tickets?

Hey guys,
For the time being I would prefer to not have my real name attached to Tor so I hope you don't mind if I introduce myself as Beastro.
I love Tor and its mission. I was wondering if you guys had any projects that I could help out with? I can write code in python, java, C and also have plenty of experience with plenty other languages. As a student, I don't have a ton of time, so I can only spend maybe an hour or two a day helping out. Let me know if there's anything I can do!

 
Hi,
 
Take a look at our list of volunteer projects:
 
https://www.torproject.org/getinvolved/volunteer.html.en
 
What are you interested in?
What types of programs do you usually write?
(Network, file handling, calculation?)
Do you know how to use git?
 
If you're specifically interested in Core Tor (the network daemon), get
started by cloning and compiling Tor:
 
git clone https://git.torproject.org/tor.git
 
Follow the install instructions at:
tor/INSTALL
 
And run:
make check
 
If everything passes, you're all set up to make changes to tor.
Find a ticket, make some changes, and submit them as a patch or a branch.
 
Look for tickets marked "easy" or "intro" on:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/report/30
