Hi Paul, Fixes or enhancements to individual tools might be a good place to start - and you won't need to know as much about the Galaxy internals. The Galaxy development team look after a lot of tools/wrappers, but of course there are even more on the Tool Shed written and maintained by other groups. Fixing a non-core Galaxy tool may not be quite what your lecturer had in mind, so do check ;) Peter On Wednesday, February 6, 2013, Matthew Paul wrote:
Dear Galaxy Project community,
I am working with a group of students at College of Charleston of South Carolina. Being interested in bioinformatics and software engineering, we chose to work on Galaxy for our open source class project. We are subscribed to the appropriate mailing list, have been accessing Trello and are becoming familiar with the Galaxy architecture. Our first assignment is to identify and fix a bug, but unfortunately the bugs reported seem to be going right over our heads.Where would be a good place to start, so that we may be able to contribute to your system (documentation, etc)? We are looking forward to your response.
Thank you, Matt Paul
