Dear all,
I have received quite a few private messages about how to start
contributing and where.
I understand that some people might be too shy (or not wish to raise
false expectations) to write even a private message. Thus, my overall
advice is to follow these 10 steps:
https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GettingStarted#Basics:_Contributing_to_GCC_in_10_easy_steps
and to check this list of easy tasks: https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/EasyHacks
and not be shy! Expressing interest is not a promise of commitment. If
you start something and you cannot finish it, well, that's life. At
least you tried.
I would encourage you to write to the mailing list (gcc@) or use IRC
(https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GCConIRC), but I don't mind if you write me
a private message (although I may take a few days to reply).
Cheers,
Manuel.
