Hi, Thank you for your interest in GNU Wget. You can start with the Wget Wiki at: http://wget.addictivecode.org/ This will give you a basic understanding of the application and will link you to the source repository and bug tracker too.
GNU Wget uses Git. You should have a fairly working knowledge of Git and version control systems. Clone the repository first and look at the bug-tracker to find some bugs that you think you can help fix. Once you're done with that, use `git format-patch` to generate a patch file and send it over to this group. Remember to add an entry to the ChangeLog file before creating the patch. You could start off with simple bugs like: 40746 or 40656. A patch is tentatively supplied with the former while the latter requires creating a test case for replicating the results first. There is also simple bug in the output of Wget that you could attempt to resolve. When invoked with -O and an extremely long URL, Wget's output is faulty. This has been documented in Bug #40908. It should be a trivial solution.
