yeah i'm aware of most of these good points you raise, however would not know how to implement my first syscall, i've been saving/bookmarking resources which i believe could be helpful. i would definately need a mentor on this project. it would be great also to see freebsd/zrouter on 300% more mips devices as most only have 4MB flash and this is one thing we really need to get the filesizes down (don't forget bionic (derived from bsd libc for android) bionics libc is very small, smaller infact than musl, however i'm not sure how complete, and i believe much of the same work is required as android uses the linux kernel. -Original Message- From: Garrett Cooper Sent: Friday, October 26, 2012 3:10 AM To: Michael Vale Cc: freebsd-current@freebsd.org Subject: Re: FreeBSD in Google Code-In 2012?

Not one deals with coding any programs. If I was 15-17 years old I sure would not be interested in writing documentation. I would want to use and develop my coding skills. To that end there a lot of simple PR's waiting for attention. This is an target area that young coders would find more interesting. It would depend on what one's interests were. Google code-in is aimed at *coders* and there is an expectation of people writing *code*. The biggest complaint for GCI last year was not enough coding tasks -- Eitan Adler ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

This is an target area that young coders would find more interesting. It would depend on what one's interests were. I've known a few technical writers over the years, and even if that is not one's long-term career objective, being paid to simply write is something a lot of people wouldn't mind doing. It's just that most writers don't hang out on Unix mailing lists. :) ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Nobody prevents students from serving FreeBSD by writing stuff in attractive, well documented (books, translations) technologies. We just need to craft a task list around things which people consider attractive. -- Wojciech A.

That wiki site has a distinct lack of help about: * what is required from us; * what the target is (kids, right?) * some examples of good and bad projects. Right now I have absolutely no idea what would constitute a good or bad coding project. :/ adrian ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
