developing openbsd?
I've looked all over www.openbsd.org. Any sort of guide/projects for new wannabe developers? (not new to programming) Just the bug list? Fix something send diffs? - Jay

Fix something send diffs? If you're serious about this, just use OpenBSD intensively. After a few weeks/months, you'll notice things that will irritate you. The other thing you should do is read those mailing-lists and follow instructions. Each time we ask for patch testers. This is a good way to help and to get a feel as to how things work. It's not complicated really. Everyone smart enough to become a developer soon figures things out by himself.

That's a good start, probably. Fix something send diffs? As mentioned on these lists multiple times over the years, yes, that's what you should start doing. - Jay

A number of developers started by fixing/updating man pages. Sometimes the code is broken rather than the man page, and viola you on the water slide. Ken

Re: developing openbsd?
Does any developer use c.vim plugin? I can't get it working properly according to STYLE(9). I would appreciate your settings. What other Vim plugins do you use?

I'd love to see such a document available. Depending on the scope of this documentation effort, it could even be bundled as a package.

Re: developing openbsd?
I can imagine universal OpenBSD VIM settings for programming as a standard for local Vim programmers. It will make easier so many things. We should write down all ideas. Key task is to share experiences during programming with Vim. It looks like that many developers use cscope, ctags, taglist during programming. I use SnipMate for code completion at the moment, because c.vim is quite complex for me. You need to put big effort to get things work like you want to if you're not vim expert. I suggest to stick to the minimalism. We can collect most favourite code snippets and put them together in universal snipmate config with practical documentation for other useful settings. There is no need to read 100pages of manual to become efficient. From a practical point of view you always forget many things and use only a few key features because you don't have time to read the whole manual and test all things. I don't want this. We should put some effort to make it practical and easy from beginning. What do think about my suggestion? 2010/8/8 IC1igo Ortiz de Urbina inigoortizdeurb...@gmail.com: I'd love to see such a document available.

Re: Looking to start developing OpenBSD
Would you please implement the C99 %a string format support that is missing in our libc? :DD I'd love if someone could do it =) Anyway, you could start by taking a look at the bug tracking system (http://www.openbsd.org/query-pr.html). *Plenty* of work to be done there.

I would suggest starting with small tasks, to get to know the ways of getting code into the tree; as a start the PR database contains a lot of tasks. -Otto
