saw a gsoc project regarding new functionality where musicbrainz developers want to create a new independent page to display links related to an entity. something like linktree(as far as i have understood).I’m interested in working on that feature. i know its too late to apply for gsoc so i want to know whats the best way to work on that project apart from gsoc ,how to get in touch with the developers working on this feature and possibly have a discussion so that i can get a clearer picture of what needs to be done and how. thanks.
If I’m not mistaken, I think you still have a few days until the cutoff date, 18 March? You would be at a disadvantage to those who started earlier, but if you’re eager and skilled (and have time right now) it might be worth going for
This page has everything you need for getting started with MetaBrainz GSoC: Development/Summer of Code/Getting started - MusicBrainz Wiki
But, as you’ve noticed, you don’t have to be in GSoC to contribute! I think the getting started link above is a good place to start for general contributors as well - it will guide you to chatting with the devs on IRC, and what dev tools you should look at.
Then you can start picking up tickets on the ticket tracker - I recommend ones with the ‘good-first-bug’ tag.
This is the ticket for the link page, but you shouldn’t pick it up (yet), as someone might get it as a GSoC project:
thanks for the reply @aerozol i will surely look into the ticket tracker and if possible will post a proposal by today.
