Always can use help

Joseph Wang-2
I did a quick brain dump of some things that newbies can work on in:

http://wiki.quantlib.org/twiki/bin/view/Quantlib/NewbieProjects

That page is editable so that people can add on their own ideas.

In particular, adding a new pricing engine and/or writing a unit tests is a
way that someone without much experience in the code can start and get
something quickly useful done without too much time commitment.  Once you are
in the code, you'll probably find more things that you'd like to work on.

Some of the things I put on the list aren't coding related.  

Generally, the development mode is to find something that you are interested
in or that you need done for internal use, and then let people know that you
are working on it so that people aren't reinventing the wheel.

Let me know if you need any help in getting started.

Joe,
        apparently I can't login on the Wiki, neither with the guest  
account nor with my registered one. Here are a couple of things you  
might change:

- interested developers should post to the quantlib-dev list, not  
quantlib-users.
- work on a QuantLib book has already started.

Later,
        Luigi
