have started work on two module of my own, and i need a little guidance on how to start a project on the drupal site and some help answering a few miscellaneous questions.
Sure, check out api.drupal.org first.
I am a student, who managed to get an internship developing drupal modules for the summer. I've talked it over with my boss and we are going to contribute all the work I do back to the community. I was
get a CVS account: drupal.org/cvs-account
going to apply for google SOC, but I knew I would have my hands full with this internship. Never the less, I could still use some guidiance from a sessioned php/drupal developer.
Here is the website I am currently working on. http://www.openmfg.org. Most notably I managed to do a little black magic and achieve partial integration with mantis bug tacking system. I have also made a few modifations to the listserve module to work with postgreSQL. I managed to set up another example of ezmlm, qmail, mailhandler, listhandler forum to listserve set up. I read someone where that there was a desire for a howto to be written on this. It that still the case?
Sure, it is.
Please take a look around and if anyone is willing to act as a mentor or wants to lend a hand you can contact me off list.
People on #drupal are usually helpful if there is a concrete, development related question. "Development" means core or contrib development, not "how do I set up my site to do this or that?". This last comment wasn't for you, though. We also have #drupal-support for the latter type of questions. Cheers, Gerhard
