At the beginning of the year I started writing an open-source, lightweight Android library to read RSS feeds [1].
This Android library features XML stream parsing, basic data structures such as hash tables, unit testing, integration testing and API design. The project is small. It is also useful (that's always a good thing). And it tends to follows industry-standard engineering principles. I guess for at least one of these reasons, it is used by other developers. I am now looking for someone (preferably a student) who is keen on broadening his or her open-source development skills while taking on this project. The responsibilities include: * Scrutinizing and merging patches * Fixing reported defects * Addressing questions about the library To get a feel for these procedures, have a look at this recent defect report [2]. When I was a student, I got actively involved with open-source and it shaped my passion for software engineering. For this reason, I am sending out this email to give someone else the opportunity to learn by doing. If you are interested, feel free to get in touch.
