[Teresa Johnson via llvm-dev]

Hi Jhonny,

Probably the best way to get started is to first get familiar with
clang/llvm in general via the info on the llvm project website. You could
also try to fix a simple bug reported on https://bugs.llvm.org/. Here is a
ThinLTO related bug that was just filed (not sure if it is being looked at
by the submitter though): https://bugs.llvm.org//show_bug.cgi?id=32763.

A couple smaller projects for ThinLTO that come to mind would be improving
the ability to collect build statistics (since the backends are
parallelized) and serializing out the ThinLTO summary to LLVM assembly. But
you'll want to get more familiar with clang/llvm before attempting either
of these, and picking up and fixing a couple small open bugs is a good way
to do that.
