How to start engage in etcd ?

[鄭以新]

Hello everyone, I'm a newcomer who wants to understand and try to make contribution to etcd.

I've clone the source code and run in on my laptop, but I have no clue where to start.

I've read the README.md and docs about how to contribute but I want to know which part of the code I should start to learn first?

Btw, should I read the paper first ?

Thanks.

The mentorship program has two parts, the mentors (who are experienced with etcd) and the mentees, who are not  experienced with etcd. I would try to register as a mentee.

Hey  - Thanks for your question, glad to hear you're interested in contributing to the etcd project!

My suggestion would be to review issues labelled `help wanted` and also keep an eye out for any labelled as `good first issue` though these do tend to get picked up very quickly.  Refer to our contributions guide: https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md

One area you could consider is helping out with our website, this will help you learn about how etcd works and we certainly need help getting some issues resolved, refer: https://github.com/etcd-io/website/issues

Another area you could start with is helping manage dependencies, we have a weekly roster for this here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DDWzbcOx1p32MhyelaPZ_SfYtAD6xRsrtGRZ9QXPOyQ/edit#gid=0 and instructions to follow here https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/blob/main/Documentation/contributor-guide/dependency_management.md.  I'm happy to help if you get stuck with anything.

Thanks

James Blair
