Title: New to bitshares code base
Post by: dipplum on May 23, 2017, 04:16:31 am
I have been a lurker since AGS and PTS times. Now I realized how stupid I am that I only invested small amount of money but not my time into BitShares. Hope it is not to late to start.

I am pretty good at both C++ and distributed system, plus some limited exposure to web and mobile development. I am wondering if anyone can point me to some simple out-standing issues that I could use for my ramping up.

Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

Hello there,

Good to have you on board.
Development on tge bitshares code base is decentralized. The main repository on github.com/bitshares/bitshares-core has all the issues in the issue tracker. There is a small team of trusted professionals that maintain the repo.
The usual procedure is to fork the code, make your improvement and send a pull request for review. If you do bigger changes (e.g. on protocol level) then you may need to also write a BSIP (specs) amd discuss is prior to getting your hands dirty.
Hard forks of the code require a voting through shareholders.
