To know a ideal way to participate in open source projects

[subh singh]

hi,
I am confused that how one can select project/bugs to work on, with
any interested open source organization? Are they define their problem
in software or requirement, otherwise it is difficult to work on any
random task.

Pick a project that you're interested in, for example, MediaWiki
(Wikipedia) [1], Selenium [2] or Jmol [3]. Once you've found a project
that interests you, join the mailing list, talk to developers and
browse the bug list...

If the project interests you, you'll surely find some way to contribute.

Not sure if you'll ever find anything worth doing if you aren't interested.

I already realized that you're a bioinformatician ;)
I'm a computational mathematician, but I'm pretty interested
to learn about the bioinformatics field.

By the way, some of my favorites are:

http://www.scilab.org/
http://www.shogun-toolbox.org/

Why not work on NMAP?

Here is a project you could adopt:
http://www.ex-parrot.com/~chris/driftnet/

Here is the result of a SF search that may turn up something you find
interesting / worth contributing to...
https://sourceforge.net/search/?q=sniffer

Anyone got better suggestions?

Let us know how you get on!


Dan.
