Hi there! I have very very basic programming skills and a desire to contribute. That's why I thought it'd be fun to learn programming while working on an actual project. Quite a few questions have arisen in my mind.
Is there a way to work only on Vanilla wow. Fix bugs, add new features, etc. Maybe TBC later on. Or is the core one for all the versions?
Is Mangos striving to be Blizzlike or it's not important? I personally am all for being as Blizzlike as possible without any hacks.
There is a Project Silverpine that is working to create a perfect Blizzlike Vanilla server. They are too open source. Are you guys working together and how does one choose which server to work for? They have recently fixed player movement and loot system. Do both projects share their fixes?
Is there a guide or some kind of tutorial on how a volunteer developer can start fixing simple bugs and gradually move on to more complicated stuff?
Is there any kind of FAQ available that explains what is ScriptDev0 or ScriptDev2, ACID and other projects and how the integrate with Mangos. It all just seems really hard to get into and start doing something at the moment. I still will, but I can't help but think it could've been easier.
Sorry for so much questions. I'm just genuinely interested. Thank you in advance for answering.
