Well, it's not projects in term "GSoC project ideas" (which are
provided under "List of project ideas for students"), it's more like
some potential areas which still need improvement and do not require
much involment in order to tackle them, so they are deemed as a good
place to start.

Yes, that's correct.

I think I already mentioned [1], it requires some other knowledge
(regarding ANSI terminals and terminfo/termcap, mostly), however.
Overall, there is also vast field of work regarding support of various
ioctl() calls, but it is difficult to recommend since it already
requires some understanding of strace and kernel inner workings in
order to be done right (from my point of view).

Hello,

I read the resources provided and am reading the mailing list. I have
successfully cloned and built strace. There are two projects specified
on the wiki page :
"https://sourceforge.net/p/strace/wiki/GoogleSummerOfCode2017/; :
1) Adding tests for better coverage
2) Adding new classes for -e trace=class.

Should I start working on one of these or is there some other small
feature that does not require much knowledge of internals of strace
that I should work on?

Thanks,
 Animesh

Well, strace itself does not utilise bug tracker of any sort; bugs and
suggestions usually reported via this mailing list (like suggestion
[1], reported recently). You can try to have a look at lists of bugs
related to strace packages in various distributions (like [2] or [3]),
but these are mostly loosely related since they are reported against
old versions and most of them are ususally reported upstream and fixed
or get stale.

Thank you Eugene for the quick reply. I will get started with the
resources provided.
Are there any flags indicating "easy-to-fix" bugs or "minor" bugs that
I can get started with. That would be really helpful.

Thank you,
Animesh

GSOC : Introducing myself

[Animesh Kashyap]

Hello everyone,

I am Animesh Kashyap and I am a 2nd year undergraduate student taking
Computer Science and Engineering course at my university. I want to
participate in Google Summer of Code this year and I like programming
very much but do not have much experience with system programing as
such. I looked into the organizations that participated last year and
"strace" caught my attention. I found out that strace is participating
this year too and so I really want to be a part of the development
process. I am comfortable with C, git and bash. Can someone please
guide me about the resources required and how can I begin
contributing.

Thank you,
Animesh

GSOC : Introducing myself

[Animesh Kashyap]

Hello everyone,

I am Animesh Kashyap and I am a 2nd year undergraduate student taking
Computer Science and Engineering course at my university. I want to
participate in Google Summer of Code this year and I like programming very
much but do not have much experience with system programing as such. I
looked into the organizations that participated last year and "strace"
caught my attention. I found out that strace is participating this year too
and so I really want to be a part of the development process. I am
comfortable with C, git and bash. Can someone please guide me about the
resources required and how can I begin contributing.

Thank you,
Animesh

GSOC - Introducing myself.

[Shubham Chaudhary]

Hi

I’m I’m looking forward to contributing to strace development. I’m familiar 
with systems programming, syscalls, and OS, esp. linux so I was wondering where 
would I begin if I were to start by familiarising my self with the codebase, 
fixing a few bugs, etc. My GitHub is at http://github.com/5hubh4m if anyone 
wants to see my past projects.

Thank you.
