Hi and welcome,
thanks for your offer to help - we were just discussing today in the irc-channel that there are some people in our current team who are willing to guide newbies through the process (get src code, build, run, modify something, try writing something new, send in patches, etc).
If you have ability, please join #reactos on freenode irc network. If not, then email is allright (ask questions right here, so other can read and learn too).
WBR, Aleksey Bragin.

Dear friends, We are 3 undergrad comp sc. and IT students from India. We have some coding experience but have never worked for the Open Source Community as developers.

We really want to contribute to the development of React OS and since we are new in Open Source development, we would require your guidance and support in stuff like understanding the code, building the build environment etc. Among other shortfalls that we have, we haven't programmed much on Windows platform (almost always Linux ie) and hence know little about the Windows API. But we are eager to learn and can definitely learn parts of the API as long as you can guide us. We humbly request you to guide us and give us some problems so that we can try and support this community. A lot is left to be done in ReactOS and it would be great being a part of such a project. Also we are better at writing C codes than reading them ( like almost everyone ;) ) and hence would request you to give us some problems that we can write from stratch rather than bug fixing that would require reading all codes. But we are ready to contribute in any way you feel we can as developers and support this community. Regards Arko Provo Mukherjee Abhishek Biswas Biswanath Banik
IRC client gives error "Couldn't look up your hostname" while I am trying to connect to the FreeNode server. I am using my institute net connectivity which is probably thru' a NAT box. Any ideas??

Hey,
Make sure you are trying to connect to irc.freenode.net and that no firewall is in the way (other than the NAT gateway).

I've run into that issue myself, also when going through my university's network. Usually retrying will get me a connection. This is providing of course your institute doesn't block the IRC ports.
Ver very good idea. Seems ROS is getting mature ;)
