In order to help the students | In order to help the students familiarize themselves with the project, we have created several pieces of documentation for them. In particular, we have an exhaustive developer central where we describe the all-important internals of ScummVM. This is valuable as a quick reference as well as during the initial explorations of the codebase. | ||
Also | Also the development team actively uses the forums, IRC, Wiki and the development mailing list during the entire project development. We consider out students to be special, but developers nonetheless. Each developer including our students is encouraged to take part in discussions, whatever the means these discussions occur. As a pragmatic fact, on IRC any student will be able to get support literally 24/7, as our developers are scattered all over the globe. | ||
Also not only the mentors communicate with the students | Also not only the mentors but also the entire development team is encourage to communicate with the students. The students are marked with special flag on our IRC channel, so everyone know who they are. Also we require the students to write introductory letters to our development list, so everyone will have impression about them, their skills and their assigned task of course. | ||
