This has some good information: |
28 |
|
29 |
http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise/wiki/CodingStandards |
30 |
|
31 |
and like it says at the bottom, many projects will have their own |
32 |
development documentation. |
33 |
|
34 |
Aside from that, help is always (well, when the devs are awake) |
35 |
available on IRC: |
36 |
|
37 |
#gentoo-dev-help (what it says) |
38 |
#gentoo-sunrise (most people here are writing/reviewing ebuilds) |
