Help required to start contributing to Boost.
Hello, I am new to Boost. I'm fairly well at C++ and am programming since the last 6 months. I would like to contribute to its development. Can someone please help me out? I had a look at the website but I am unable to find bugs that are suitable for beginners. Thanks!

Boost general uses advanced C++ techniques so coding opportunities for beginners will be limited. Regardless, you need to acquaint yourself with the various Boost libraries, find some that interest you, look for outstanding bug reports in Trac, try your hand at creating a test to demonstrate a bug, create a patch, then post the patch to the issue. You can also try to find doc requests or identify doc deficiencies and offer to write the new content for the library maintainer. ___ Rob (Sent from my portable computation engine)

on top of that I think some libraries (interval, iostream?) got orphaned.
You might look at the Boost Library Incubator which as advice for library creators - www.blincubator.com Robert Ramey -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Help-required-to-start-contributing-to-Bo... Sent from the Boost - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Hello, I am new to Boost.
Hey there! Welcome.
I'm fairly well at C++ and am programming since the last 6 months. I would like to contribute to its development. Can someone please help me out? I had a look at the website but I am unable to find bugs that are suitable for beginners.
You would be better off if you can narrow down a few libraries based on your interests and ask the corresponding maintainers for beginner-level bugs(though they probably are very few as Rob says). -- Warm regards Roshan
