Re: [Bug-wget] I'd like to volunteer

Hi Tim,

thanks for your offer.

You might read some of the mailing list threads (in the archive), try to 
answer questions on the mailing list (incl. patch reviews). To become familiar 
with the code base, you could pick some bugs from the tracker and try to fix 
them. Don't forget to ask any questions here, also regarding auto* tools, git, 
etc.

Bug #45796 is such a candidate (http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?45796).
Figure out, what the correct treatment of <script tags is, write a python test 
to reproduce the problem and try to fix it.

Also we want to migrate the perl tests (tests/*.px) to python (testenv/*.py).
Pick any test and migrate it.

Happy hacking !

Regards
        Tim
