Anyone can help contribute to the project
Testing is always needed. Having people to checkout out that commits are
doing what they are supposed to do along with not causing new issues
helps keep the active commiters on track and being able to fix new bugs
introduced faster.
Database optimization is one area where active development is not
currently focused on, but can benefit everyone. Anyone who wants to help
speed up queries, please keep in mind that we are now using LibZDB and
are active on SQLite, PostGres, and MySQL. New queries should be
compatible on all the backends. We are trying to avoid putting in
different queries for different database systems.
I believe that Paul is currently focusing on improving the daemons
efficiency by removing the single char reads with buffered reads.
I've been asleep at the wheel for a bit, so I don't really have much
going with my own development and I'm really more in testing mode now.
The main thing to do, if you are going to work with the C code, is to:
1. Check with the dev list to see if your goal(s) are inline with the
projects goal(s). There is nothing worse than putting in hours of work
on a patch to add a new feature where that feature was already shot down
in the past and would leave you with a patch that won't be committed.
2. Coordinate with others actively coding to make sure that you are
working on a different problem, so that your changes won't conflict with
other's changes, making a nightmare to take A + B to turn it into AB
3. Format your patches using git diff and send them to the dev mailing list.
Potential and Current Developers should checkout:
http://git.dbmail.eu/?p=paul/dbmail;a=summary
http://www.dbmail.org/dokuwiki/doku.php
To get started with your own git copy
`git clone git://git.dbmail.eu/paul/dbmail`
After that - update your copy with new commits
`git pull`
Thats all for now - Jon - A.K.A. The NetVulture
