Re: [Quantlib-dev] Getting Started with QuantLib Development

[Luigi B. <lui...@gm...>]

Hi Ben,
    yes, bugs would be a good place to start.  Even before fixing them, it
would be great if you could triage them first, since, as you said, most are
quite old (for instance, those reporting build errors from years ago can
probably be closed, and others might have been fixed).

Just post here when you run into difficulties. Having someone looking at
the list and pushing forward will be a great help already, even if you
won't actually contribute code at the start.

Later,
    Luigi
