Hi Garvit, Thanks for your interest in Apache Fory and for taking the time to set up the project and run the tests — that’s a great first step.
For starter issues, you can begin with: 1. https://github.com/apache/fory/issues/3408 2. https://github.com/apache/fory/issues/3409 These are good entry points to help you get familiar with the codebase, contribution process, and overall architecture before moving deeper into the C++/Rust gRPC codegen work. Regarding: Where to begin exploring the current service IR and compiler pipeline Please read the “Source links” section in the GSoC project description. Those links point to the relevant modules and code paths you should study first. Start from the existing compiler flow and understand how IR is defined and transformed through the pipeline before thinking about extending it for service bindings. furthermore communication channel for better communication We do not provide private communication channels for project discussions. Please do not discuss project-related topics privately. All technical discussions must happen publicly on GitHub issues/PRs or on the fory dev mailing list. This ensures transparency and allows the whole community to participate and benefit from the discussion. Once you’ve explored the compiler and IR based on the source links, feel free to open discussions on GitHub with your understanding or initial design thoughts. Looking forward to your contributions.
