it can be of course a challenge to work on a project of this size but I can ensure that it is no magic ;-) You will notice that everybody is cooking with water only. The problem is that it is a lot of code, grown over years and that often documentation is missing. It means also that the code and the style is different, old code looks different than newer code etc. But we have tools to search the code and when you have found specific areas of your interest you can focus on this code. You don't need the knowledge of everything. The work with the code will guide you automatically in further code areas and you will learn more and more over time. Don't be shy and try it out and what's more important feel free to ask questions here on the list. Taking the huge size of the code base into account I would say that it gives not really stupid questions ;-), please simply ask. Welcome on board Juergen > > > Lucas >
