Dear Folks,
Sometime ago I posted a message regarding learning to develop and contribute to the development of PostgreSQL. I started my journey with downloading the sources and take a look at the bits and pieces of the code. As I was expecting it to be, my journey was and still is ponderous one. I can image the same for other newbie’s like myself and the fact that some like myself come from a windows development world than *nix.
Therefore I was thinking to build a website concerning a "how to contribute and develop to PostgreSQL".
The idea is to show the following:
1. How to configure the compiler tools for windows and *nix
2. How to make changes, compile and debug
3. Where to start the learning curve in the source code.
4. If requested by any to document the code as I advance.
5. etc.. etc..
I would like to hear your opinion and whether anyone is interested in helping.
Regards,
Gevik.
