T,

I'm interested in helping you guys with Tor development. I don't really care what I work on, except I do not support .onion websites (though I am willing to be convinced otherwise) so I would prefer not to participate directly in their development. I have plenty of experience with writing code for networks and for various calculations, as well a few programs for file handling. Yeah, I'm familiar with git, I've used it before on several projects. I think for now I'm going to stick with Tor networking, for the time being. I've already got Tor up and running in a vm on my machine. Should I also try to contact dgoulet (assigned to bug triage for the week) as well as taking look at those tickets?

I can write code in python, java, C and also have plenty of experience with plenty other languages. As a student, I don't have a ton of time, so I can only spend maybe an hour or two a day helping out. Let me know if there's anything I can do!
