[Supertuxkart-devel] Google SoC 2014

[ChenXiao <lov...@gm...>]

Hi,

My name is Chenxiao Ma and I'm currently a CS Master student in University
of California, Los Angeles. I have two-year experiences in C++ development
and one-year in LAMP-related development, plus my Master thesis will be
very likely in database-related field. I began looking at (and playing, of
course :P) STK several days ago and now I'm interested in the
implementation of "Online User Administration" for my GSoC 2014 application.

Here's some questions I have when I was reading the documentations and
source codes:
0)
According to this link:
http://supertuxkart.sourceforge.net/GSoC_2014_Server_Side
, I can find useful information like database structure and dependencies I
will need for my development environment from github repo. However the
readme file(https://github.com/supertuxkart/stk-code/blob/master/README.md)
only provides a very general information about installation & required
system spec. So where can I get the information about stkaddons in terms of
database? (I was focused on reading the source code in /src/addons/ but
didn't get a bright idea about it)
I would like to setup my development environment as soon as possible.

1)
Any possible suggestion for me to get quickly involved in STK? (e.g.
workflow, important link, etc) I will really appreciate it!

Regards,
Chenxiao
