Hi, I have sound knowledge about C and C++. I have not worked with Smalltalk before. Thank you for sharing the different works one can do with C and Smalltalk.
I would like to request you if you can give some links or documents or any related information via which I can read more about the work you listed in the response. I wish to know more about them so that I can best judge myself for the kind of work I will be more inclined to take. And yes I was able to merge my patches with the source code of SSSD. Link to some of my SSSD work can be seen here: https://github.com/PallaviKumariJha/SSSD-OPW-13-14 . It was a great learning experience. Thanks!
