Hehe.. you surely are my favorite Haiku-developer, Axel.
Ahem, what exactly are you waiting for?
better weather.. =)
Short story: everything that you find on your R5 installation CD.
I ment missing or incomplete haiku-parts.
Something like this can be either found in the BeBook, or even in some docs in our repository. If you cannot find any docs, you could also ask the developer in question to give you an introduction. Of course, this is time consuming, but if the developer can write a general introduction of that component and puts it in our repository, it's well worth the bothering :)
Yeah.. I'll spend some more time with my books..
Whatever we promised you, we'll certainly not eat you alive :-) We may not always have enough time and "balance" to be equally nice to the 5th person asking the same question, but just don't get frightened.
Totally understandable..
We will certainly welcome every helping hand - which makes sense if you think about it. But since we're already quite big, we also count on your initiative - we cannot always give you a hand and show you around.
I've noticed.. =) .. but I'll find my way, and a door into that house somehow.
That's indeed the biggest problem, and it's not just you. The thing is, that if you (or any other) take over an assignment, we trust you to work on it - if you don't you'll not only haven't helped the project, you have also slowed it down because someone else probably won't look into this component while you're supposed to be at it. But you can always just do little things as fixing some things marked with "ToDo" or similar all over the place. You don't even need an assignment for that, you can do it whenever you like, it might be a 5 minute thing or take an hour, whatever.
Yeah. i'll have a look.. found some nifty test apps that might help.
There is enough work to be done in other departments - not everyone has to be a driver writer either (of course we welcome any of those, too :- )). You can even be helpful by learning C/C++ by reading our code.

I would have something similar in mind if I wouldn't have to write an operating system before ;-)
Yes.. keep doin that.. and get back at me when you're done.. =)
Rock on, dudes!
