[lldb-dev] start contributing to LLDB

[dawn at burble.org]

We could definately use help on the Windows port :).
One area we need help on is merging the port back into the main svn
branch (we've been working on a git branch based on 3.1).
It would be a good way to get familiar with the code base.

We will review your patches and make sure they are correct and then we will commit them for you giving you credit in the checkin. Later after you get the hang of things, you can ask for a commit login where you will be able to submit your patches directly.
