New To Group

[bwj.johnson]

Hey everyone!  I'm new to this group/project, and I was wondering what a novice programmer could do for this project.  Is there some place where new features/bugs are listed?  Thanks.

What are your interests?

[Ben Johnson]

The bulk of my experience is in linux programming in C/C++ and bash.
I know some python, perl, tcl, and I'm excited to learn more python.
I'm comfortable with basic RDB stuff, and I enjoy algorithms and data
structures. I do not have a ton of experience with web technologies,
but I'm interested in learning more. I do not know much about
linguistics, but hopefully I can learn some of that too.

Ben,

Welcome to the group.  You may have seen this post concerning the grand scheme by Weston.  It does a good job of outlining where we as a group fit into the world.

As far as places to get involved, I'd say you could check out https://github.com/openscriptures and contact the recent committers on the various repos there.

You can also check out the thread on Lexicon and Outline Update.  As mentioned there, you can totally jump into that code, https://github.com/jag3773/d-bdb, and try to make it load all of the data in the XML file.  The idea there is to take the XML and generate a python dictionary which then could be used to push information into a SQL database.  Seems like that might touch on several of your interests.

Out of curiosity, is your day job Linux related?

Thanks,

Jesse

Thanks for the pointers. I will look into that.

Also, yes for my day job I've been developing applications on RHEL for
the past 5 years.
