Hi Avinash,Great to hear that you've already made a head start with cloning the repo and ensuring that it compiles locally for you. That is an important first step.
Sadly, there isn't a lot of detailed documentation available for Wget2. It is a relatively new codebase and we haven't documented all aspects of the library yet. The page you found was made for Wget 1.x. Nothing similar currently exists for Wget2. However, the code is fairly simple and easy to follow. If you're ever stuck, just drop us a mail and someone will respond and help you out.
As for some low hanging fruits, have you tried looking into the bug tracker? DO you see something interesting? There isn't a lot on it currently, but if you find something interesting, you could work on it. Apart from that, try using Wget2 as much as possible. Try to find cases, where it breaks compatibility with Wget 1.x, or corner cases that break expectations / cause wget2 to crash. File issues about those and see if you would like to solve those issues.
Another simple low hanging fruit is to improve the test coverage of libwget and wget2. Try to write new unit tests and integration tests to ensure that regressions are not introduced in the future.

Hello! I am Avinash Sonawane, studying at Pune Institute of Computer Technology in final year of engineering. I know I'm late as I was busy with mid-sem exams but now I am eager to make the best of whatever time is left. I have a considerable experience in C. And I'm interested in "Design and implementation of a statistics module" as the subject line suggests. I have cloned the github wget2 repo and have installed it on my machine and I just can't wait to get my hands dirty with the code. I found http://wget.addictivecode.org/NavigatingTheSource.html but it's outdated (I guess it's applicable to wget1.x) Where can I find the similar doc for wget2 to get myself acquainted with the overall architecture including but not limited to call graph and such? Also can I please get few low hanging fruits to try my hands on? Thank you. Regards, Avinash Sonawane (rootKea) PICT, Pune https://rootkea.wordpress.com
