Need help to start contributing for Subsurface

[Tomaz Canabrava]

Nikhil,

We had a tiny bit of issues with new developers that dont read what we
write and keep asking the same questions over and over again, ignoring what
we said.

Dirk, the main developer, took the time to write you and instead of
answering you just repeated what you'v said in the previous email. Look,
this is no good. We care for newcomers, I was a newcomer before, but "how
do I start" is a very bad answer to the very Nice email that Dirk wrote.

Take your time to re read the email again and answer correctly, politely
and tougthfully, because if you keep with that atitude you will not find
help here.

http://subsurface-divelog.org/documentation/building/ is a little outdated,
we are literally days away from a new release and I’m in the process of
updating this). And then you can start writing code:
http://subsurface-divelog.org/documentation/contributing/ is a good place
to start.
