Hello,
My name is Aaditya Joil, and I am a computer science student with an
interest in network programming and low-level systems.
I recently started exploring OpenAFS and have set up a local test cell
(on Arch Linux), including configuring users and experimenting with
client/server setup. I’ve also read through the quick start guide and
portions of the administrator's and user’s guides to better understand
the architecture.
I am particularly interested in the proposed project involving a netcat
like tool for the Rx protocol. As an initial step, I reviewed the
contributor guide and looked through the current github issues, but I am
unsure which areas would be appropriate for a new contributor to start with.
Are there specific subsystems, smaller tasks, or documentation gaps that
would be good entry points while I continue learning the project's codebase?
Thank you,
Aaditya Joil
