So you want to be a programmer? I guess you should find a teacher and/or a textbook.

Your post makes no sense. You want to develop an open source project...but you don't know how...but you've ALREADY written a program with "many file and folder"???

If you don't know how to program, how did you write what you already HAVE? If you DO know how, you've obviously already DONE IT...so congratulations, you've created a program. So publish it to Sourceforge.

TB0ne.
I choose an open source project for develop,this project have many file and folder but i didn't know for start what should i do?

Why should you do anything if the program is already written?

I think he means he picked a project from Sourceforge which he wants to CONTRIBUTE to.
But this project has many files and folders, and he's having trouble wading through the source.

Am I right, Jokar? You know HOW to program right?

Not sure what anyone can tell you. If you want to contribute, the first thing you need to do is decide WHAT to contribute. Do you want to fix a bug? Make it faster? Add features?? After that, you need to open the code (which usually has documentation), and figure out where to put your change. Test it, and submit it back to the project for acceptance.

We can't tell you how to program, though...

I don't know Python myself, so I probably can't help you, but..... why don't you tell us all WHAT PROJECT IT IS? Then maybe we can try....?

A bit more precisely? What do you want to change in the program?

sycamorex · 10-16-2012, 11:16 AM

If you know how to program, just learn how to use git, create your own branch and contribute as much as you want.

Back to square one:
