Re: [Bug-wget] C developer keen to help

[Ander Juaristi]

Sure! You're more than welcome to join us!

If you're looking for something to work on, you could browse the list of
open bugs [1], take one that suits you, and drop us a line, so that we
know someone is working on it. When you're working on a particular
issue, also please write a test case in the end to ensure it doesn't
appear anymore in future releases. Test cases are written in Python.
They are in the folder testenv/.

We also have unit tests (well, sort of). You can write C code inside a
#define TESTING macro that tests each function individually. Take a look
at hsts.c:608 [2], for instance. You run the tests with 'make check'. It
will run all the tests under testenv/, all the "unit tests", and the old
test suite under test/.

Another project that's still pending is the migration of the old test
suite (tests/), written in Perl to the new scheme in Python. You could
also give it a try if you like. Although this will arguably take more time.

If you get stuck or have any doubt in anything, please get in touch.
We're friendly (well, usually ;D).
