Way to contribute?

Hi,

I heard of the btrfs development and I'd like to know how can I contribute to the project. My apologies if this is the wrong place to post, but I couldn't find any contribution-related information in the wiki or elsewhere.

I am a 30-yr old experienced hardware design engineer, who currently works as a software development lead for an Electronic Design Automation software startup. I'm experienced in straight C development (over 12 years), algorithmic development as well as lower level programming (e.g. I have programmed device registers, implemented an I2C controller for linux parallel port, built a simple MIDI sound card device driver for x86 Solaris back in 98, etc).

I heavily use the linux raid for almost all my workstations and servers for years now, and having had some bad experiences I'm very interested in the integrated approach that btrfs is taking.

Regards,
Spyros Lyberis

Btrfs is a fairly complex project, and so it is best to start small. The first thing to do is give btrfs a try and look for bugs ;) Feel free to ask questions here or on irc about how the code works.

Reading it is a great start, as it trying your workloads and seeing how well it works.
