I looked into the todo list but it is filled more with feature enhancements (will take some time to get there). If I could get some pointers for beginner friendly issues/bugs, I would be glad. Note: I am able to step through (via gdb) the whole backend process while it runs queries, so I have some initial setup to get going. Thanks, Ankit ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 6+ messages in thread

The canonical starting point is here: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/So,_you_want_to_be_a_developer%3F The king's way to learning the ropes is reviewing patches in the current commitfest. That will familiarize you with the conversation style on the mailing lists, with the development cycle and with the code. Yours, Laurenz Albe ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 6+ messages in thread

Also another question, which email client does everyone use (mostly) for communication?

Grab a patch from https://commitfest.postgresql.org/40/ that is simple enough, try to apply it to Git head and see if it builds and passes the regression tests. Then try to break it :^) Read the code to see what the patch does. It is best to start with a patch that touches an area of PostgreSQL that you understand well. > Also another question, which email client does everyone use (mostly) for communication? I use Eclipse (default on Gnome), but I guess everybody has their own preferences. By the way, thanks for your willingness to help!

I will try and see how it goes. > I use Eclipse (default on Gnome), but I guess everybody has their own preferences. Hmm, I am not able to find this on Ubuntu, default here is thunderbird. Asking this because it is a bit difficult to reply via webmail.
