New player (and maybe developer?)

Hey guys. I'm fairly new, and I have already made a thread without introducing myself.

I'm a fan of both Quake and UT, and I really believe that Xonotic is going in the right direction and will hopefully get ahead of both of them in the future.

As for developing, I have a little knowledge of c++, does that help much? And where should I start contributing, I've never been in an open source community before, so all this project management and mailing lists and bug reporting systems and whatnot are a bit confusing for me.

Hello,

the developement IRC channel is #xonotic at FreeNode.

Welcome then!

For a good starting point to develop things you may want to read these:

• Repository Access
  
• Xonotic and Git
  

Generally you should have a look here: dev.xonotic.org

If you´ve got any questions then you can ask them in the IRC channel Mirio posted above.
