Google Summer of Code

coders interested in mentoring for GSoC please email Chris Want (Hos)
platform maintains please check/update build/install instructions in the wiki manual some are likely a bit out of date
document the more important/common files needed

Think of something you want to code
look in space.c or toets.c for the keybinding of the command to a similar function or function area
grep or CScope or other source browsing method for the code for that function (usually it will be in a file in /source/blender/src )
get an overview of existing code in that file
If you see variables you don't know/understand use CScope or other source browsing tool to find its original declaration (the main headers of interest are in

source\blender\makesdna

and

source\blender\blenkernel

if you find something you don't understand, pop into IRC on #blendercoders

code your new idea
create a patch and ask someone to test it/and or make testing builds and post them in the testing builds forum and blender.org
submit patch to tracker and email bf-committers mentioning the patch and what it does make
stop by Sunday meeting on irc and bug people to look at it if it hasn't been applied yet or ask for feedback.
